You want to set up RAID1 (disk mirroring).  If your SCSI controller
supports hardware RAID1, set that up, THEN install Linux.  Hardware
RAID is generally better than software RAID.

If you must use software RAID1, that's a little different.  I suggest
you go read the software RAID howto from the Linux Documentation
Project.  If you go to

	http://www.tldp.org

and go to the index part of the HOWTO section, you will find it.  You
may even find a copy of it in your native language, as there are a
number of translations in there.
