But if /dev/md0 is /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 then md0 is just the boot sector of sda1 and sdb1 which installing grub to /dev/md0 would do the same thing. If you run full disk raid so /dev/md0 is /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (which I never do), then I suspect installing grub on it, may work the same as with lilo. > What I was trying to tell (sorry, but my english knoweledge is quite > limited) is that to have the same behaviour with GRUB you have to > install it on the MBR of both disk.
