Dustin, thanks for whatever help you can offer. I believe I got it all. Note 
that my fdisk is a bit more persnickety than yours :-)

Note that I entered these commands *after* I had fully booted (beyond the 
BusyBox shell). Whatever problem is plaguing md0 may not be showing by that time.


root at lydia:~# fdisk /dev/sd?

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK     Change partition table
        fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK  List partition table(s)
        fdisk -s PARTITION           Give partition size(s) in blocks
        fdisk -v                     Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
