setup-storage and grub issue

Hmm, yes, $BOOT_* only get defined in case they reside on a normal partition. I
think I can easily fix this if you can give me a hint what they should be set to
in this case. Ok, $BOOT_PARTITION is obvious, but what should $BOOT_DEVICE be
set to? I'm lacking the knowledge about RAID&grub, apparently. Could you help me
out?

Ok, this is fixed in r4864.

Hmm, well, right. I updated the wiki page accordingly and also my patch that I
keep sending to Thomas :-)

Best,
