I just don't see how you can break anything *as long as* you don't let
the system write anything to the disks. How can read-only be unsafe?
One might be paranoid enough to clone images of the drive before
proceeding, however.
My one concern is over how you know this system uses software RAID.
You know that EIDE hardware RAID was available, right? I'm sure this
would rarely be available built-in to the motherboard.
