Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure this bug
is fixed in Oneiric.

I've tested this in virtualbox with both the server 64-bit beta2 and the
daily build server 64-bit for Sept. 27th.  If I've hit this same
problem, it's 100% reproducible.

Two virtual disks, with /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 as raid 1 /dev/md0 for /.
/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 as raid 1 /dev/md1 for swap.

If I "disconnect" one of the drives, on booting the grub countdown
appears, and then the screen goes black.  The only response I can get
from the machine is if I blindly press 'enter', then type 'reboot', then
press 'enter' again, which causes the virtual computer  to reboot.  It
doesn't matter which of the 2 disks I 'disconnect.'

So far, this has happened 100% of boot attempts.  If I reattach the
disk, it boots fine.

Apologies if I've misunderstood something.  I can do some virtualbox
testing if that would help.
