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.
[snip]I forgot that part, yes, 1.2, fill in mdadm.conf AND rebuild initrd afterward if your are setting up things manually (as opposed to a new install). No need to change file-system ID to "fd", that was for 0.90 type metadata.
