Erm, ow. I've seen that but not for a long time (I tend to use grub these days). I think it was caused by a missing "linear" directive when writing lilo to the drive.
Searching the web threw up http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2002-Jun/1386.html which I think says rude things in German about /boot on RAID. In English, there's an interesting thread around http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2002-June/007...
- How \ What do I need to create the boot disk simply to kick off the
boot process off any drive?
A kernel with raid, IDE, ext3 (or whatever) and probably syslinux is simplest. syslinux is at http://syslinux.zytor.com/
