I'm doing exactly that or at least I believe so.

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.

Zeno

PS: Lilo can not write it's boot-image on RAID5, only on RAID1.
