Sorry, my mistake.

I never noticed this before. I do not even know where the "fd00"
comes from. The latter comes from lilo.conf and is correct.

"Second boot arg"? I'm not quire sure what you mean by that. 

Perhaps it's worth mentioning, that md0 was created by D-I, while md1
array was created afterwards (the discs weren't there yet at install time)
by hand.

Etch current: 2.5.3.git200608202239-7.
