I agree that it's excellent work that mark's done on the driver.

I'd suggest that you install with an older kernel that uses rd as the boot
disc isn't setup for md, unless someone does a new boot image.  however
using an older kernel means no RapIDE support, so it's a bit of a
situation.

Does anyone know how to mount a drive partition that's not in the fstab?
having moved the internal disc to the RapIDE has changed it's wd number,
so it won't boot.
