How is that done if it is not the boot disc? And why can it not be the
boot disc, though it could with dmraid?

I am still wondering why mdadm discovered the RAID that I had created with
the BIOS RAID utility, but destroyed it. I wanted to re-install the
machine anyway, but what if had used netboot with nfsroot as a rescue
system for the machine?
