>Has anyone successfully built a woody system with root fs on software

As a matter of fact I just spent last weekend doing this
very same thing. The HOWTOS that are floating around
out there are some what stale. To find out the
real story I had to load the lilo-22.1 source code
and read the README.raid1 that comes with the source.
I am using ATA drives, but I have attached my (trimed)
lilo.conf file. The key is the 'raid-extra-boot'
line.
Good Luck,
