If my theory holds, it should be sufficient if /boot has metadata=0.90 |
| 25 |
because that's what grub has to access. |

I doubt you need mknod. Udev should handle this. |
| 40 |
Maybe you should try it without and see whether udev really creates |
| 41 |
them. If so, you might still add them to the static /dev. Use something |
| 42 |
like this: |
| 43 |
mount --bind / /mnt |
| 44 |
mknod /mnt/dev/md127 b 9 1 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
This circumvents udev and writes directly to root. Of course, you have |
| 47 |
to replace / with whatever is the mount point of your root partition |
| 48 |
when you boot from a live-CD. |
