What would be the best way to put lilo on the second drive also and make 
it bootable without  messing with lilo on the first harddrive. I am also 
unable to boot when I try to mirror the /boot partition. It hangs on a 
kernel panic. The only way I am able to setup raid is if I only mirror 
the / partition. Thanks for the help
