I'm using software RAID1, or want to. ;)

At the moment I've just got /boot, /, and swap on a normal IDE drive.

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1        13    104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            14      9599  76999545   83  Linux
/dev/hda3          9600      9729   1044225   82  Linux swap

And lets say I have another drive partitioned the same. How do I convert
my live installation to run off two RAID1 mirrors?

Best,
