Yes, to clarify, Storix says you can put /boot in S/W RAID 1, not RAID
0, 4 or 5. They recommend you just keep /boot as a separate partition,
then you can put the root filesytem in anything you want (including LVM,
raid, reiserfs, SCSI, etc). The /boot contains the kernel, which cannot
be mapped by LILO if it's in a RAID 0/4/5 device.
