I removed a drive from my raid array, how can I get it to boot alone?

I removed a drive from my raid array, how can I get it to boot alone(without the raid card)? It keeps kernel panicing at boot, seems it is trying to load the module for the raid card.

When booting I notice:
loading aacraid.ko

and get the errors:
mkrootdev: label / not found
error 2 mounting ext3
error 2 mounting none

How do I get it to stop trying to load aacraid.ko?

Thanks in advance.

I assume it was in a mirrored configuration (if not, this won't work).

You should be able to boot from a rescue/live cd on that computer and modify the bootup system. Not knowing your distribution, I can't really be more specific.

Yes, it was from a mirror, I use RedHat Entriprise, I can access the drive through rescue mode, what do I need to change for it to boot on its own?
