md array not starting?

I created a two disk array, created a file system. Mounted the file
system. Tested the file system, and all was well.

I then rebooted the system, and the array does not come back
automatically.

I have the following config.

cookiemonster:~# uname -a
Linux cookiemonster 2.6.8-2-686 #1 Tue Aug 16 13:22:48 UTC 2005 i686
GNU/Linux

cookiemonster:~# cat /etc/default/mdadm
# This file is automatically generated.
# Run 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm' to modify it.
START_DAEMON=true
MAIL_TO="root"
AUTOSTART=true
cookiemonster:~#

cookiemonster:~# cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
DEVICE partitions
cookiemonster:~#

And I thought that should make things automagical?

The array seem to be there, because
cookiemonster:~# mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/.static/dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=2
UUID=be1a9899:cbbb6f22:2b320f91:f4efdba8
devices=/dev/hdd1,/dev/hdc1
cookiemonster:~#


What needs to be done to auto-start the array?
