Yes you need to install grub to both drives, or use lilo. The Red Hat installer doesn't install grub to all drives like it does for lilo. In the case of grub you need to do the following:
1)edit /boot/grub/device.map to look like this: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd1) /dev/hde (hd0) /dev/hdg
2)Install grub on /dev/hdg "grub-install /dev/hdg"
grub-install /dev/hdg /dev/md2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
/dev/md2 is /boot in my case.
Any ideas? (Is this still on topic for this list?)
You have me there. This why I can understand why redhat uses grub. Grub just doesn't have the abilty to do everthing lilo does. Just use lilo. There should be a prefectly useable lilo config file in /etc/.
