This time mdadm --assemble /dev/.static/dev/md0 /dev/sd*1 resulted in
something like:
"md0 assembled with 4 devices"
However, I don't get long to savor my success, because the machine reboots
within about 10 seconds of successfully assembling the raid array.  I tried
to assemble again after the reboot, and got the same exact results - I don't
even get enough time to type a mount command.

I guess this explains the continuous reboot loop I wound up in earlier.
What is it about just assembling an array that would cause a reboot?
