So that has to be used ... [ but cannot share a /etc/raidtab :-( ]

I am learning ...
raidstart appears to read the SB from the first "device" it finds (not device
0, but the first) in /etc/raidtab and use that.
This means that if the first disk of a RAID1 is bust/corrupt/..., raidstart
won't work until the lines of /etc/raidtab are re-arranged.
Is this intended ?
[ It makes my "re-weite the SB on /dev/XXXn" perl script very useful :-) ]
Would it work if raidstart could be asked to ignore /etc/raidtab and instead
start the RAID device whose SB can be found on /dev/XXXN
