	md is the Software RAID driver.  It has nothing to do with your setup,
and if it were me, I'd recompile the kernel without it.

	The two param MAX_MD_DEVS and MD_SB_DISKS are:

	MAX_MD_DEVS = max # of MD devices of some flavor (RAID 0, 1, 4, 5)
	MAX_SB_DISKS = max # of block devices that make up one MD device.
