Is it necessary to use the first partitions of the disks to succesfully
boot from raid1?

I have boot and root on the same partition (/dev/md0). In lilo.conf is

 boot=/dev/md0
 root=/dev/md0

When I run lilo (v. 21.7) the boot blocks are written to each partition of
the raid mirror without any error. When I am booting lilo hang with

 LIL-

When I am booting with a boot disk or after running lilo with boot=/dev/sda
I can boot without problems with the raid disk. I guess that the root/boot
partition has to be the first on both disks to successfully boot.
