I recently did an Etch install on amd64. Raid1 /boot, raid1 pv0, with everything but /boot on lvs (root, home, usr, var, swap). Everything was set up perfectly with no booting problems. I even installed grub on the second disk's mbr so I can boot from either. So I know it worked for me and I don't know what happend for you. Good Luck.
