To do this (#comments may be wrapped):
1. sfdisk -a /dev/firstdisk > partitions.firstdisk
 #hda/sda depends on hardware.
2. sfdisk -a /dev/seconddisk > partition.seconddisk
 #these two just to keep partition information.
3. grub
 # this will drop you to grub prompt
>find /grub/stage1
 #note the output (hd0,0)(hd1,0) #This is showing all drives, in grub
addressing, available
>device (hd0) /dev/sdb
 # hdb for ide

4. Now run the system with either hard disk plugged out to test boot. Do
not go beyond boot else your raid will need to be re-synced.
