Sofware Raid and Grub HOW-TO

PROBLEM: When you do the install is that grub is only installed on id0 if
you have scsi drives and /dev/hda for ide drives. So if either of these
drives fails and you pull it, you have problems.

SOLUTION: You need to run grub and install onto all other drives that are
part of raid that the /boot partitions are on. At present only raid1 is
supported to put the /boot partition on with linux software raid.


localhost:~# grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
