Last I checked, it is possible to have the kernel itself start the
root array, via a (series of) kernel command-line arguments.

I haven't messed with windows since xp. But I do remember on xp you

I've set up a new machine with sw raid1. / and /boot are on
seperated arrays. raid1 support is compiled direct into 2.6.35.1.
The machine is only bootable with an initramfs created by the hints
