Now this sounds promising. So what you say is that if I just go with
autodetect for the boot device (in my case md0, sdb1 + sdc1), then later in
the boot process when mdadm is started it will create the other raid devices
even though they are not set as 0xFD? I will test that, thanks for the
advice.
That worked great, and achieved what I was looking for which was to reduce
the kernel boot parameters (one less place to remember to keep up to date
when adding new partitions and raid devices).
Thanks again,
