What does this exactly mean. I always use GRUB for Raid1 setup with boot
partition an md device, and I'm beginning to think I'm using it the wrong
way!

What I do is I 'setup' the partitios from a floppy:

title Install GRUB into (hd0,0) the first disk
root    (hd0,0)
setup   (hd0)
 
title Install GRUB into (hd1,0) the second disk
root    (hd1,0)
setup   (hd1)


Both partitions (hd0,0) and (hd1,0) are part of /dev/md/0

At that point I'm able to start from both devices... BTW I've never been
able to do that w/o passing from a floppy. If I do that from the CD I use to
install everithing seems OK but it doesn't boot.
