Yes, I thought mdadm.conf wasn't really necessary these days and if the
partitions are type FD (autodetect) the md devices are assembled before you'd be
able to read /etc anyway. If your partitions aren't set to autodetect, you
might be able to change that, reboot, and come up working.

'cat /proc/mdstat' should show the status of the md devices and the partitons
that are working so far.
