    or

    I'm surprised lilo did not work, as the lilo install has been tested a lot
    more then the grub install, but good to hear grub worked.

    Theoretically you can install to raid from the installer, if you load raid.
    I wrote that rootraiddoc and I'm not sure of the steps to install directly
    from the sarge installer onto a raid system.
    If anyone from the installer team has better directions or a definitive
    answer on whether you can install to raid from the installer, then let me
    know, and I will update the document.
