Thanks a lot, that pointed in the right direction. And yes, I have
considered it and actually tried it with no success. But I thought, why not
try again - however, still no success. Then I noticed that anaconda had
build the root line as "root (hd2,8)" which looked strange since the boot
partition is /dev/sda9. If hd0 would be dev/md then hd1 could be /dev/sda,
so I changed all occurrences of (hd2,8) to (hd1,8) and bingo that did the
final trick.

Tried a last time to chainload into (hd1,8) but got "Geom error", so I am
probably stuck with the first solution which is OK until I dump the F10 system.
