Hi all,

I've got my system installing to the RAID 1 set (4-way mirror).  My 
fstab looks like this:

	/dev/md0        /       ext3            defaults	0       1        
	/dev/md1        /boot   ext3            defaults	0       1        
	/dev/md2        /usr    ext3            defaults        0       2        
	/dev/md3        /var    ext3            defaults        0       2        

My lilo.conf file looks like:

	lba32 
	boot=/dev/md1 
	root=/dev/md0 
	map=/boot/map 
	delay=20 
	vga=normal 
	default=l2419 
	 
	image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 
	        label=l2419 
	        read-only 
	        root=/dev/md0 
	

When the system boots, lilo is able to find everything, the RAID sets are found
and sync'ed, yet it kernel panics at the very end of the boot sequence:

    Warning: unable to open an initial console
    Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Any idea what I'd need to pass as an init option to the kernel?

Thanks,
