    I have the same setup, but with RAID0 rather than RAID1.

    It's been a year and a bit since i set it up, so my memory would not be
    good enough to write a howto, but if you describe the problems you are
    having perhaps i can help. I just followed the instructions in the root
    on RAID howto.

    I've got /dev/sda and /dev/sdb

    sda1 = swap
    sda2 = raid
    sda3 = whole disc
    sdb1 = swap
    sdb2 = boot
    sdb3 = whole disc
    sdb4 = raid

    silo is installed into sdb3
    For a reliable mirror setup you would want to duplicate the boot
    partition on both discs, and install silo to both discs.

    I found that raid autodetection doesn't work on sparc so my silo.conf
    contains

    append=" md=0,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb4"
