Basically the same procedure. Just replace the words "root partition"
with "boot partition" or "partition on which you install your kernel" in
Michaels instructions.

I'm doing exactly that or at least I believe so.

I run 
install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sda1
install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdb1
install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdc1
install-mbr -t 150 /dev/sdd1

then in lilo.conf I put 

boot = /dev/md0
root = /dev/md2

then I reboot and I get:

MBR FA: (I hit 'A')
MBR 1234F: (I hit '1')
MBR
MBR FA: 

.. and nothing boots. MBR just stands there forever.

Any hints?

Thanks for your Feedback.
