Hi,
Thanks, yes that was the problem i was trying to get around. I can get a
serial terminal install, but i thought that doing a raid install via serial
terminal would give errors that the disk couldn't boot anymore. Do you know
if this is planned to be backwards compatible with 4.4?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
I'm wanting to install centos via serial terminal on to a box without
monitor. It will be administered remotely via ssh. I've got two disks in
it and would like to use raid1 with this system, but i'd like to get this
going preferably during or immediately after the install. My problem as i
see it is installing grub on to both hard disks, you have to get a shell
window during the install for that otherwise the box won't boot. Does
anyone have this working?
Thanks.
Dave.
Yes. PXE + dhcp + pxegrub + tftp + installation image and initrd.
Rebuilt grub to enable network support and to stuff in a default menu that
makes it let you use grub over the serial terminal.
If you must use the CD, then you need to pass something like
'console=ttyS0,9600' to the kernel.
After installation, anaconda should create appropriate grub menu entries.
If not, look at the sample below.
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal --timeout=2 serial console
However, what do you mean by 'installing grub on to both disks, you have
to get a shell window during the install'?
Are you trying to get around the first disk fails and the system does not
boot up any more problem? That is fixed on Centos 5/RHEL 5.
