Yes, I do (have a RAID1 setup to autoconfigure as root) :-/ ....
Could you amplify on this point a bit ? How does it steal root ?
Secret BIOS mods ? Vulcan nerve pinch ? Judicious summoning of the

*C'mon* !!!! How about a clue here ? I am calling it pilot error
(shoulda <ctrl-D>'ed back to the installer instead of rebooting, but
