All I have is one big RAID - five disks with a hot spare. I put ./boot on it's own partition but that's on the RAID, too.
I planned to do a reinstall (since it's a new system I can't lose anything) anyway so I'll try LILO this time. I haven't used GRUB on anything except a standard system with no raid. I'll do a workstation install instead of selecting packages. If that works I'll go back and do another install with the packages I want. I'll tell it to format the partitions each time.
