You said IIRC that the install sees the individual drives. If you have your BIOS set to boot from one of those drives, install GRUB on that MBR, load the fake-raid driver via the initrd, and have boot in its own partition on that drive, That should work, and your root can be on the raid5 fake raid. To be honest, though, I would personally forget the onboard raid which is a worse implementation than the linux software raid, and I would go with linux software raid (which is what I did do). Windows cannot install to these fake raid either without the vendor supplied driver (usually a floppy), and though you CAN make it work (probably easier to install to boot on the IDE and after install move it to the raid array), I believe performance and problems are worse than linux software raid.
