I have a dual-processor P3 system with two equal-size SCSI drives attached

Feb 2005 snapshot) and tried to configure a complete RAID-1 system at the
time of installation. It didn't boot from RAID-1 though, probably because
the kernel (2.6.8-2-686-smp) had RAID support set up as a module ("m")
rather than included ("y").
No, it should create an initrd which should allow booting from raid.
One other question: I have 2 GB of DRAM and I specfied a 2 GB swap size. I'm hoping to get 4 GB of virtual memory. But I used a tool by DJ Delorie (used previously in Cygwin) that says I only have 2 GB of virtual memory. I'd appreciate some suggestions on how to fix this, too, or other (more reliable?) ways to check the amount of virtual memory Debian thinks it has available.
