Tried this aswell :-)
My lilo.conf now looks like this.

Notice that I'm now also sending the kernel boot output to the ttyS0
serial port (COM1 is PC terminology) which I'm able to capture on a
second machine via a NULL modem cable. Don't know if this is the
best way to do this or not - works for me!
My output doesn't make any mention of ataraid or pdcraid. I'm guessing this
is probably bad :-) Here's the output:
