... Sending Gmail from a text-only browser is tricky ;-).  I'll
continue where I left off...

Turns out Christophe Saout has a patch for that particular error, that
adds some device-mapper support to LILO.  Available at www.saout.de.

Unfortunately, it only works with a tiny subset of the device-mapper
targets - namely the "linear" target.  Thus it won't allow LILO to be
written on my RAID0 (or a RAID1..) disks.

Now for the question: How can I install a bootloader on a device-mapped device?

Ideas, hints, information, anything is welcome :-).
