Is it possible to have your boot/system disk in a raid cabinet?

I am testing this on an AlphaServer 1000 running 4.0g connecting to a Raid Cabinet with HSZ40 controllers.

My production system is a 4100 with HSZ70 controllers.

I have used the vdump / vrestore procedures to copy the system. I feel that the drive is partitioned correctly.

I made the changes to the fstab on the "new" system disk. when I reboot and specify that drive it begins reading from the raid array, but at some point during the boot, it seems to change back to the original disk and the boot fails.

I have removed any reference to the internal drives that I can find, but the boot fails.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks
