I set up a small Linux system on /dev/hda and than added 3 other disks to one raiddevice. The Linux System is Debian 2.2r0 Standart Installation with a new 2.2.17 Kernel with raid patches from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/ than the raid utils from the same site. After this you can create /dev/md0 from your three disks you want to use raid with.
