can't mount /boot

i installed arch64 after being away for a while. and i installed beyond on it and made an initrd with mkinitcpio. my system seems to boot fine now but the device for my /boot partition is missing (/dev/md1) when i boot the beyond kernel i compiled it seems to be there. here is my mkinitcpio and menu.lst

# vim:set ft=sh
MODULES="xfs md-mod raid0 raid1"
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide fbsplash keymap"
FBTHEMES="darch"
FBRES="1024x768"

timeout   5
default   0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue

# (0) Arch Linux

Errrm

initrd (hd0,0)/initrd

initrd /kernel26beyond.img

You're not using mkinitcpio, yo.

Re: can't mount /boot

Well, then this is probably an initscripts issue - I know tpowa recently made some changes to the initscripts with relation to raid devices....
