Yast2 Disk was used to make the RAID disk. It is supposed to be a reiserfs
disk but I'm not sure if that means each are done independently or ... ?

My partition table (create using "yast2 disk") has :
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda2 2469 3641 9422122+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda3 * 3642 9964 50789497+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 2469 2599 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6 2600 3641 8369833+ fd Linux raid autodetect

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 25 12568+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 75001 116336 20833344 5 Extended
/dev/hdc3 26 75000 37787400 83 Linux
/dev/hdc5 75001 76974 994864+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hdc6 76975 93411 8284216+ fd Linux raid autodetect

And my /etc/raidtab is :

raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 4
device /dev/hda6
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdc6
raid-disk 1

I'm not 100% sure what I need to do to give you the answer to this.
Is the following what you want ?
$ ls -l /dev/md0
brw-rw---- 1 root root 9, 0 Jan 1 18:28 /dev/md0
