falco, I'm going to go ahead and try a few things here on my own. I just started looking into what might have went wrong and the first thing that I checked was that when I did the copy:

cp -dpRx / /mnt/md1

/proc and /dev didn't copy so of course initrd is looking for non-existant directories. I'm going to try:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda

and then continue from there to see if I can make this work. Do you have any suggestions at this point?
