# mdadm --create /dev/md1 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2
/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2
/dev/sdb2

Silo does not ask for a device, it just installs. Rebooting goes into a
disk errors and searching for the dhcp network device.
Rebooting with command: boot
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
