Actually that's not true anymore. I don't know all the details of how it
works, but RAID1 is bootable on Linux now, even your /boot partition can
be RAID1. Since both drives are essentially a simple mirror the code
is probably not too difficult. I've got two machines setup that way with
Debian etch.
