6 You can boot (if you selected boot support in the configuration) with your md
7 device with the following kernel command lines:
8
9 for old raid arrays without persistent superblocks:
10 md=<md device no.>,<raid level>,<chunk size factor>,<fault level>,dev0,dev1,...,devn
11
12 for raid arrays with persistant superblocks
13 md=<md device no.>,dev0,dev1,...,devn
14
15 md device no. = the number of the md device ...
16 0 means md0,
17 1 md1,
18 2 md2,
19 3 md3,
20 4 md4
21
22 raid level = -1 linear mode
23 0 striped mode
24 other modes are only supported with persistant super blocks
25
26 chunk size factor = (raid-0 and raid-1 only)
27 Set the chunk size as 4k << n.
28
29 fault level = totally ignored
30
31 dev0-devn: e.g. /dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
32
33 A possible loadlin line (Harald Hoyer <HarryH@Royal.Net>) looks like this:
34
35 e:\loadlin\loadlin e:\zimage root=/dev/md0 md=0,0,4,0,/dev/hdb2,/dev/hdc3 ro
