Hey guys n' gals,
What would my boot= line be with the following configuration. I can find many many tutorials on raid but I can't find out what to do in my situation.
To get this going what I do is use the slackware 10.2 install disk 1 and use sata.i. When I get there I create the raidtab and run raidstart. That gives no output, which in the *nix world means woo-hoo!
I mount them as follows
mount /dev/md0 /mnt
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot
the install is fine.
Then I try to load lilo and that's the problem, I don't have the proper boot line. I found that if I were using the ata-raid driver I would use boot = /dev/ataraid/d#(disk with /boot)
Disks
/dev/hdc # soon to be "F.K.A.", windows on /dev/hdc1
/dev/sda # first sata on a software raid
/dev/sda1 # 2gb swap
/dev/sda2 # 148.6mb /boot
/dev/sda3 # raid-disk 0 ~117gb
/dev/sdb #second disk
/dev/sdb1 # 2gb + 148.6mb swap
/dev/sdb2 # raid-disk 1 ~117gb
my /mnt/etc/raidtab is
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda3
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 1
I think this is all one would need to know to know what to make a boot line out of. I don't know where to start looking.
This is why I think I can boot a raid0 configuration.

P.S.
If I do set boot = /dev/sda I get
L99 99 99 and so on with the 99's until about 10 lines of 99's exist.
