[Bug 728435] [NEW] raid1 boot degraded mode fails

[Patrick Domack]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Doing the server default+raid1 test, disconnecting drive 2 causes boot
to fail.

mdadm find the good drive, and detects the missing drive but doesn't
create the md devices.

Screen dump:
Attempting to start the RAID in degraded mode...
mdadm: CREATE user root not found
mdadm: CREATE group disk not found
Could not start the RAID in degraded mode.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
...
...
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/1da...... does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!

The user and group messages suggest that perhaps mdadm now needs nss
modules in the initramfs?

Had the same issue with the i386 ISO as well.
