Ok, I finally worked my way through the partitioning. I believe it may be because I didn't explicitly select the drive when I created the partitions (both were selected) A guess!
I have md0 as '/' md1 as swap and md2 as /home I then go through the install; it ask to install on the md0 partition. But I never see where it ask to put the mbr record.. Then when it finishes the install and reboot.. I get a screen with "GRUB" at the top and nothing else.
I read while searching for this problem that RHEL3 won't boot from a RAID partition, is that true of RHEL4 / CentOS4?
I believe so ... I usually make a 100MB /boot partition on the first drive and a similar sized /boot2 partition on the second drive and once things are up & running and use dd to copy the boot loader on the second drive and copy the files from /boot to /boot2 every time I update the kernel.
I have not had need to actually see if this will work and let me boot off a failed primary drive by swapping them yet.
