The problem is, if I reboot the machine, then I cannot mount /dev/md0 again

What can I do to fix this?  I've tried setting the partition types for
hda1/hdc1 to the correct "fd" type, but fdisk complains "Partition 1 does
not exist yet".

Also, it is possible to boot from a RAID device, is it not?  I assume it
wasn't working before because of the superblock problem.

Try changing your partitions with cfdisk, and learn and use mdadm for your
raid arrays.  You'll thank me. :-D
