I'm using the hook available at:

http://www.hpc2n.umu.se/staff/torkel/partition.STORAGE.source

to build the partition tables, a more or less standard
script/DEFAULT/S01 and a reworked s/D/S10 is available at:

It probably only works with grub though. The lilo parts are completely untested.

I also had to patch initrd-tools (mkinitrd) with the patch available in
debian bug #284763 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284763)

You probably have to redo some of my work to make it work the way you
want it to, but hopefully you can use it as a start at least. I'm using
mdadm, so there is no need for any raidtab or mdadm.conf.

The only thing left to solve is to hack grub to install itself on the
ninth disk, i.e the first disk on the second raid-controller. Does
anybody know grub enough to give me some hints were
to start looking?
