[CentOS] Re: Stuck at GRUB

[John Newbigin]

My dell SC430 came with instructions on how to set up booting from 
software raid under RHEL. I can't find an online copy but this might help
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-July/008898.html

Normally before I move a machine from testing to production I like to do 
some tests, including pulling a disk from the raid and knowing how to 
recover/restore etc.

If it is going to be remotely hosted, you also need to figure out how 
you are going to do it remotely.

John.
