Here's a patch that will cause raidstart to work when it can't get the
superblock from the first drive mentioned in the raidtab.
I've also included it as an attachment in case Outlook does its evil magic
to the text.
Basically, I changed raidlib to try starting the raid with each of the
devices in it until it either succeeds or runs out of devices.
