Moving raid to different machine

    With a mail spooler going down yesterday, I'm faced with a small 
problem.  The machine, running RH7.3, had a raid consisting of 2 SCSI 
drives that were striped together (software raid.)  Is there some way I 
can pull these drives out with their controller, stick them in a 
different machine, get the raid going, and be able to pull the data 
off?  If so, how?  I don't know if there are certain files I need, but 
on backup I have /etc but no /boot (which is where grub lived in those 
days.)

    The raidtab as it was looks like this:

raiddev             /dev/md0
raid-level                  0
nr-raid-disks               2
chunk-size                  64k
persistent-superblock       1
nr-spare-disks              0
    device          /dev/sda1
    raid-disk     0
    device          /dev/sdc1
    raid-disk     1
