Sure, that's what I did after boot on rescue, chroot, etc. However, I 
wonder if the *documentation* -- Wiki, or even the man page discussion 
on boot -- should mention that changes in the mdadm.conf have to be 
propogated to /boot?

In fact, that's an interesting question: which changes have to propagate 
to /boot? I'd think any change that affects md devices with /etc/fstab 
entries set to "auto" would have to be followed by update-initramfs. 
That's quite some bit of hidden knowledge if true.
