Re: hardware RAID to copy system?

If I take a HD out of an old computer and put it in a new computer I'd
expect it to "just work(TM)" and maybe need some tuning (assuming the
same architecture, etc).

The fact that I'm using 1/2 of a RAID array should NOT screw that up.
The "original" server can boot from one of the two disks. If I boot
another server from the other disk I expect to see a "mirror" of the
configured system. I'm pretty sure I've seen this done with other RAID
controllers.

For what I'm doing this would be a lot more desirable than a Jumpstart
server.

As yet, no one has been able to explain either why it doesn't work or
how to make it work.
