Yeah, booting from RAID has always been a little tricky. I actually boot
from a different 80GB drive and run the 4 drives off their own SATA
controller. So, the system is up, I just need to get the array back up
so I can (hopefully) continue copying the data off the array.

If anyone cares, I'm using the Promise TX4 card, just straight up SATA,
no fakeraid or anything like that. It's an old box with only PCI.... the
card has and continues to work flawlessly.

One day I'll build a REAL RAID machine. This one was working fine for a
while, and probably would have continued to do so if the damn drives
would stop failing!
