I've collected an howto somewhere from the 'net:

$ cat docs/sysadm/mdadm_recovery.txt

## define possible devices with arrays
echo 'DEVICE /dev/hd[a-l]* /dev/sd[a-l]*' > mdadm.conf

## scan
mdadm --examine --scan --config=mdadm.conf >> mdadm.conf

## review configuration, copy to /etc
cp mdadm.conf /etc/

## create devices
MAKEDEV md || { for ((i=0; i <= 31; i++)); do mknod /dev/md$i b 9 $i;
done; }

## start arrays
mdadm --assemble --scan

Best of luck,
