 From the man page:

	mdadm -Ac partitions -m 0 /dev/md0

This will "assemble" the array, as opposed to "create".  It says to look 
in /proc/partitions for viable partitions and then assemble the array 
with devices that have a superblock minor number of 0.  Once done, 
/dev/md0 will exist.  Tuomas was not being a "wisecracker".  His advice 
was valid.
