I've read, and read, and read -- and I'm still not having ANY luck booting completely from a raid1 device.

This is my setup...

sda1 is booting, working great. I'm attempting to transition to a bootable raid1.

sdb1 is a 400GB partition -- it is type FD.

Disk /dev/sdb: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 97677846 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1 1 97677846 390711382 fd Linux raid autodetect

I have created my raid1 mirror with the following command:

mdadm --create /dev/md_d0 -e1 -ap --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing,/dev/sdb1

The raid created correctly, I then partitioned md_d0 to match sda1.

I hope that's a typo... you need to partition sdb, not the md_d0 raid device.
