Is it possible to boot a raid root file system. I'm having trouble finding up to date documentation. Some searchs talk about a separate /boot partition - I don't understand why that is needed or relevant. I'm assuming I'd make a mdadm v 1.2 raid 1 partition for root. Can someone either tell me if this is workable, or point me at documentation. (the current grub-pc info is silent about mdadm). google search lead to various bug reports. --
