Hello All , Having a bit o' trouble here .
I am attempting to create a raid1 & bootable system .
I am finding that lilo keeps looking at /dev/sda for the boot
sector and never /dev/sdb . And also the 'fatal: ...' error
mentioned in the subject . Tia , JimL
lilo command & lilo.conf & partition info & mdadm output below .
# lilo -v 2 -C etc/lilo.conf -r /mnt
