tova e bez izri4no ukazan option, no s izbroqwane na device files na diskovete 
ustrojstva u4astvasti v raid1 masiva mozhe da pishesh i v MBR-a na 
syotvetnite disks. To4no kakto beshe deden primer-a s 
raid-extra-boot="/dev/hda,/dev/hdc" 
tova e man lilo.conf na 22.3, ako asker-a, oste nqma 22.x i ne se e ubedil kak 
stoqt nestata (t.e. 22.x pravish zapis kydeto si poiskash, i si backward 
compatible (pri mbr-only) s 21.x):

raid-extra-boot=<option>
              This  option  only  has  meaning  for  RAID1 installations.  The
              <option> may be specified as none, auto, mbr-only, or  a  comma-
              separated list of devices; e.g., "/dev/hda,/dev/hdc6".  Starting
              with LILO version 22.0, the boot record is normally  written  to
              the first sector of the RAID1 device.  On PARALLEL raid sets, no
              other boot records are needed.   The  default  action  is  auto,
              meaning,  automatically generate auxilary boot records as needed
              on SKEWED raid sets.  none means suppress generation of all aux-
              iliary  boot  records.   mbr-only  suppresses generation of boot
              records on the raid device, and forces compatibility  with  ver-
              sions  of LILO earlier than version 22.0 by writing boot records
              to all Master Boot Records (MBRs) of all disks in the raid  set.
              Use  of an explicit list of devices, forces writing of auxiliary
              boot records only on those devices enumerated,  in  addition  to
              the  boot record on the RAID1 device. Since the version 22 RAID1
              codes will never automatically write a boot record on the MBR of
              device  0x80,  if such a boot record is desired, this is the way
              to have it written.
