I don't know.  The bios is set to boot from SAS disk 0 which is **usually** 
/dev/sda; however, when my firewire drive is connected, on boot all the drives 
are shifted one drive letter.
/dev/sda => /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb => /dev/sdc  ... etc

Uhhh?  I use this computer on a daily basis!  You are going to have to 
convince me before I experiment anymore.  

For trying a new initramfs-tools, I don't think I will be doing that at all.  
For removing all devices from the raid1 array, see the previous paragraph...
