Was actually much nicer than when I last looked at Linux sw-raid, back in |

the .50 days. |

Why the trepidation? |

I'm dumb. I was thinking the system.map needed to be on the floppy for aboot |
| 17 |
to work. I just made an ext2 boot floppy with aboot on it, built most |
| 18 |
everything as modules, and configured aboot to pass root=/dev/md0 as a |
| 19 |
kernel parameters and it took right off. All that needs to be on the floppy |
| 20 |
is the aboot boot block, loader, aboot.conf and kernel. No ramdisk needed. |
