Hi all

Recently bought a pair of 80 gig drives to upgrade my system and run
with RAID-1.

Unfortunately the BIOS on my motherboard is too old to cope with the
drives but fortunately the kernel is happy with them.  So I've left in
my old 2 gig drive in the machine to boot off of.

What I'd like to do is have the root partition (/) on the raided drives
with /boot on the 2 gig.

I've copied a working install to the / partition on the raided drives,
but my question is how do I get the system to mount that as root at
bootup?

Suggestions?

Yours
Mark
