Re: Why no raid modules?



Hi all,
	after a while I managed finally to make RAID1 and 5 working
and I tested it quite for a long time without any problem.
Unfortuantly I didn't managed to make silo booting on a raid.
Probably I missed something but I guess the info from
netboy (previous post) can be usefull to build a better
documentation.
