Switch running System to RAID 1

Hi,
I just figured that our complany's server was running on JBOD with 2 HDs, one of them entirely unused (d'oh!). Of course I would like to have it as RAID 1.

Now, I built an Array from the HD in use and know how to make it bootable, but I suppose I have to make some changes to the boot-config before it will run as before. Which could these be?

Also (probably a common question) how can I make a backup boot CD-ROM with the current settings? Is there a good HowTo around?

Alex

--------

system info:
hwinfo says the Controller is "Intel 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller".
boot-loader should be GRUB.
Kernel 2.6.8-2-386.

PS: Needless to say, I have a complete backup.

I'm afraid your questions are off-topic for the debian-boot list (which is
the development list for debian-installer, not a list for boot issues).
Suggest you try asking on the debian-user list instead.

Cheers,

Debian-Boot mail list has a confusing name...

This is such a frequent mistake...  Would it make sense to think  
about changing the name of the "debian-boot" list to something more  
descriptive of what it's really about?
