[SLUG] RAID 1 to RAID5 with raidreconf

I have a SCSI system that boots from /dev/md0 via initrd. When following the
raidreconf documentation on shutting /dev/md0:

raidstop /dev/md0

I lose the ability to run the following:

raidreconf -o oldraidtab -n newraidtab -m /dev/md0

I've tried to boot with a sysadmin rescue CD with /dev/md0 not running, but it
says something about "no available level 1 drivers", but /proc/mdstat reveals
it's aware of the personalities of RAID 1 and RAID 5.

How should I approach this?
