Hmm, in contrast to my previous remark, this does NOT resolve the issue
it seems.

I can now succesfully start the array from the initrd prompt using mdadm
-As, but the /scripts/local-top/mdadm script cannot.

It complains "cannot find /proc/mdstat. If I modprobe the md module from
the prompt, and then manually run /scripts/local-top/mdadm, it does
assemble the array.

I'm just not really sure where to tell local-top to load this module...
