I think I may have found the solution (or, at least, a workaround).  I
replaced all instances of device names of the form /dev/md_dX with
corresponding names of the form /dev/mdX (e.g., /dev/md_d1 -> /dev/md1).
This involved editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, and
/etc/fstab, and then running "update-initramfs -k all -u" to rebuild the
initramfs'es.  When I rebooted, the system came up on its own.

There may still be a bug / misfeature in mountall, however:  Why did
mountall hang when the root was on /dev/md_d1, but it worked fine when
the root was on the (supposedly equivalent) /dev/md1 (and similarly for
other filesystems on other RAID1 mirrors)?
