Well, I can answer my own question.
I am runing a dell 1300 with a builtin adaptec scsi card with 3 9-gig
hard drives
All partitions are running raid5 accept for /boot partition which is raid1
What I did was downdoad the latest lilo from metalabs.unc.edu
(lilo-21.4.3) and installed it. It supports RAID1 partitions.
In my lilo conf, I made 2 changes
I change the boot= command from boot=/dev/sda to boot=/dev/md0 (my /boot
RAID1 partition). This will put a lilo block on all drive associated with
/dev/md0
Also, I change the linear command to lba32. I had to do this because I go
partition bigger than 1024 sector warnings.
Happy in Santa Barbara, running software RAID!!!
