Hi All,

I've got a setup with three RAID1 SATA disks, using grub as boot loader.
All works fine except for one thing: I can only boot on the first disk.
This is my boot loader definition in autoinst.xml:

[snip]
  <bootloader>
    <global>
      <activate>true</activate>
      <generic_mbr>true</generic_mbr>
      <gfxmenu>/boot/message</gfxmenu>
      <timeout config:type="integer">5</timeout>
    </global>
    <loader_device>/dev/md</loader_device>
    <loader_type>grub</loader_type>
    <location>mbr</location>
    <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">true</repl_mbr>
  </bootloader>
[snip]

After successful installation, I can see that /etc/grub.conf only
mentions the first disk, where it should mention all three.
After reading the documentation, I'm still not wiser. If I fix
it using YaST2 on the installed machine, all I have to do is
to select "o Boot from Boot Partition", install the new bootloader,
check out /etc/grub.conf, and sure enough, there's the three disks.

What do I have to do to get autoyast to install the boot loader
on all three disks, not just the first one?

Or, what are the legal values for "<location>"?

What am I doing wrong here?

Any advice appreciated
