Bug#265900: does not support root on software raid



Package: lilo-installer
Severity: normal

lilo-installer fails to run if root is on software raid. The
disc_offered variable is not set to anthing, because /dev/md/ does not
contain anything named "disc". Then this line fails:

disc_offered=$(mapdevfs "$disc_offered_devfs")

And this failure crashes the whole postinst. I worked around this as
follows:

disc_offered=$(mapdevfs "$disc_offered_devfs") || true

if [ -z "$disc_offered" ]; then
	disc_offered="$bootfs"
fi

But that's not quite right, that gives me a menu with who instances of
/dev/md0 on it; one claims to be the MBR.
