AFAIK automagic kernel recognition is not implemented on PPC yet, so
you'll have to specify your RAID partitions manually, e.g. :
append="md=0,/dev/sda2,/dev/hda2 md=2,/dev/sda4,/dev/hda4"
in your {quik,yaboot}.conf (this is for / on md0 and swap on md2)
You don't need to specify every RAID partition, though -- root and swap
should be enough if your array is correctly configured.
HTH,
Simon
