I may have misunderstood how to set this up from the start (first attempt) when I do "grub" It says "probing devices for bios, etc.." then I get a grub prompt. (No problem here) root (hd1,0) gives me "Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd" find /boot/grub/stage1 gives me "Error15: File not found." Do I need to back the wagon up and start over? I followed a redhat 9 doc for setting up the software raid. Two things I was not sure about. First I made each drive one large raid partition, should I have done this differently? Second, I mounted it at /. Not sure if that was right either. Bottom line, I want a software, raid level 1 setup, so I could lose either drive and still be able to boot to the good drive.
