The production systems I'm adminin' have very static root
filesystems so, for now, I'm converging on the conclusion
that having two bootable roots and mirrored non-roots is
the cleanest setup.

I'm using 2.0.36 + latest aic7xxx + raidtools 0.42.  I assume
I should also apply raid0145-19990128-2.0.36.gz correct?

Am I following this correctly: in this senario, are /boot and
/boot1 non-raid "stub root" filesystems with kernel(s) for
launching the "real" root-raid1 system with one or the other of
the root-raid1 disks offline?  That would be pretty sweet eh.
If so, what does lilo.conf look like?
