Hi,

I had problems understanding connections between some strings.

Template: mdadm/initrdstart_notinconf
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Start arrays not listed in mdadm.conf?
 The specified array (${array}) is not listed in the configuration
 file (${config}). Therefore, it cannot be started during boot, unless you
 correct the configuration file and recreate the initial ramdisk.
 .
 Please refer to /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.upgrading-2.5.3.gz if you intend
 to continue.
 .
 This warning is only relevant if you need arrays to be started from the
 initial ramdisk to be able to boot. If you use kernel autostarting, or do not
 need any arrays to be started as early as the initial ramdisk is loaded, you
 can simply continue. Alternatively, choose not to continue and enter 'none'
 when prompted which arrays to start from the initial ramdisk.

This description tells that specified array can't be started during boot, but 
the associated question asks if such arrays should be started. When they 
would be started if user answers "yes"? 

Additionally the third paragraph talks about continuing and not continuing. 
Should these be interpreted as "yes" and "no"? From the text it seems that 
there will be additional questions even if user chooses not to continue.

Sorry for being this late again. :-]

Regards, 
Edu
