Great! Someone has got this darn thing working...
I'm also having an AlphaBIOS system (Alpha XL366) and am struggling to
boot of a md device with mirroring..

What exactly is your MILO boot string?

Is it possible for you to write a simple HOWTO to do this? i.e. howto
boot to a RAID device on an Alpha? I'm sure a lot of Alpha users would
appreciate this!
