Grub can read from any normal FAT, ext2, or BSD, FS. This would include
a raid1 drive (which was what was mentioned).
Otherwise the proper way to do root raid is with a small ext2 partition
(8MB) that is speced on the initrd line. (IE initrd=/dev/sda1)

have you ACTUALLY used grub to boot off of raid1? i dont see how grub is
capable. it would have to be able to read the md device. prove me wrong
please.
raid-1 has the property that the raid superblock is

I don't know if the current Linux RAID1 leaves a normal superblock in logical

Yes, it does. The RAID superblock will be placed at

Has someone really been able to put everything on raid except /boot? How
so, if so? -- thanks! --

once on accident i got a lilo config to install a kernel on one half of a
raid 1 device. it was cause i had lilo configured, made the array, copied
using dd, and the kernel ended up in the same place on the disk, so lilo
still worked. there seems to be no way to get this to work intentionally.
