I run install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sda1 install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdb1 install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdc1 install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdd1 then in lilo.conf I put boot = /dev/md0 root = /dev/md2 then I reboot and I get: MBR FA: (I hit 'A') MBR 1234F: (I hit '1') MBR MBR FA: .. and nothing boots. MBR just stands there forever. Any hints? Thanks for your Feedback.
