Hello All,
Would anybody have a document/procedure for how to setup DM-MPIO to boot from SAN?
Thank,
Kind Regards,

It's can be quite involved, depending on whether or not your
distribution has integrated support for multipath boot or not. RHEL and
Fedora support this via the standard mkinitrd script, but only if you
set the multipathing up at install time (start installer with "linux
mpath").
For other distros, ymmv, but you'll need to get the multipath commands
included in the initramfs image and add script to activate all the maps
that are needed for the root file system.
Regards,
Bryn.

There are two sections (one for SLES 10 SP2 and another for RHEL 5.2) in
the documentation I created on multipath
http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/wiki/MultipathUsageGuide which talks
about installation and boot on the multipath storage device.
Hopefully that should help you through.
