Here's my situation.
I have linux 2.2.1 with raid0145-19990128-2.2.0 and
raidtools-19990128-0.90.tar.gz.
I have three disks.
I made a nice raid 5 with only two drives naively expecting to
add the third non-raided disk later. Unfortunately I have no
clue how to do that since I did the mkraid with nr-raid-disks set
to 2.
I'm ready to start over, so I'm full of questions now....

How do I configure it to know that a disk is failed?
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc2
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 2
If I designate raid-disk 2 as the "failed" disk, when I do a
mkraid, and the raid-disk 2 is my current non-raid /, wouldn't I
see smoke, or does mkraid know about these things? I thought it
would wipe out the partitions.

Is raidhotadd still a valid command for raidtools-0.90?
