First, lilo thinks it knows what "/dev/md*" means, and gets all
confused when it turns out to be different.
So create device names that *don't* start /dev/md.
e.g.
/dev/MDa == 60,0
/dev/MDa1 == 60,1
etc
Second, you have to tell lilo about the geometry of /dev/MD*, because
it doesn't know:
boot=/dev/MDa
disk=/dev/MDa
bios=0x80
sectors=63
heads=255
cylinders=1024
partitions=/dev/MDa1
start=63
The "start" is very important. check what the start sector of MDa1
is, and use that.
Lilo should then work.
