Oh, that sucks.  I mentioned in another mail to the list that `sfdisk'
doesn't detect any SCSI disks past /dev/sde.  I thought it was safe to
list disks that are not present on your system, obviously it isn't.
Hmm.  The workaround for that won't be easy.

The other warnings looked benign enough to me too.  I've fixed them
anyway, if you're interested, but left the above line as it was; it
also prints more to the log about the actual RAID setup:

Not sure why it moaned about the `/proc/mdstat: not found'.  I don't
know how it could have worked at all without that there.

Oh, did you pass the device on the command line?

eg

  do_grub_install /dev/md0

Real computer scientists work from 5 pm to 9 am because that's the
only time they can get the 8 megabytes of main memory they need to
edit specs.  (Real work starts around 2 am when enough MIPS are free
for their dynamic systems.) Real computer scientists find it hard to
share 3081s when they are doing 'REAL' work.
