Assuming I could get rid of the special /boot partition,
I tried the latest lilo with md devices support.
Got the following error messages when running:
Created temporary device /tmp/dev.0 (0x0000)
open /tmp/dev.0: No such device
Removed temporary file /tmp/dev.0
Any idea if this is harmless and can be ignored?
