[plug] boot strapping problem....

[Adrian Woodley]

Have a look at James' guide to RAID with debian. That gives a pretty good guide,
even if you're not using Debian. http://www.james.rcpt.to/programs/debian/raid1/

> Recently bought a pair of 80 gig drives to upgrade my system and run

> Unfortunately the BIOS on my motherboard is too old to cope with the

> 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?
