I have the same setup, but with RAID0 rather than RAID1.

It's been a year and a bit since i set it up, so my memory would not be 
good enough to write a howto, but if you describe the problems you are 
having perhaps i can help.  I just followed the instructions in the root 
on RAID howto.

I've got /dev/sda and /dev/sdb

sda1 = swap
sda2 = raid
sda3 = whole disc
sdb1 = swap
sdb2 = boot
sdb3 = whole disc
sdb4 = raid


silo is installed into sdb3
For a reliable mirror setup you would want to duplicate the boot 
partition on both discs, and install silo to both discs.

I found that raid autodetection doesn't work on sparc so my silo.conf 
contains

append=" md=0,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb4"
