Oh, duh.  (Side note: so there is a program installed as part of the
device-mapper package.  Huh.)  Thanks, that works a lot better!

So the current SVN package should work with dmraid setups as well as
normal disks.  There should probably be something in the bootscripts
contrib/ directory to show people what they need to do in their
bootscripts to get the fsck to work, once we have the initramfs set up.

Is there any kind of qemu setup I can do to test LVM?  Or should I just
start doing some reading?  (Maybe it's obvious how it's supposed to
work.)

(Hopefully LVM will be a lot quicker: I won't have issues with using the
wrong gcc to compile qemu, and I won't have issues with kqemu causing
kernel 2.6.21 to hang because paravirtualization is turned off.)
