<P>This is a system made up of an assortment of odds and ends. The root mounted
raid device is comprised of a RAID1 made up of one RAID0 array from odd
sized disks and a larger regular disk partition.
Examination of the lilo.conf files may give you better insight
into the reasoning behind the various parameters.
<P>
<PRE>
/dev/md0 is the /boot partition and is autostarted by the kernel
/dev/md1 is one half of the mirror set for md2, autostarted by kernel
/dev/hda3 is the other half of the mirror set for md2
/dev/md2 is the RAID1 /dev/md1 + /dev/hda3, started by initrd
