Up to F11 /dev/mdX in /etc/sysconfig/grub means that grub was installed into
mbrs of all /boot md device members' disks. When upgrading grub of such a
system, reinstall grub in the mbrs, and update values sysconfig file
accordingly (to hold e.g. /dev/sda). Here I'm not completly sure. What if after
installation the user reinstalled grub manually - restored mbrs and installed
it in /dev/mdX?  He wouldn't be happy with our grub update then...

This seems okay to me. If the user is smart enough to be fixing things manually,
they should be fixing them right ;). Also, Why would a user do this? It's not like
there are BIOSes that understand linux's raid format and boot it.

I was rather thinking about having another bootloader in mbr and doing
chain boot from an array member (or array if supported by the bootloader),
though I don't know if it would work or if we support it, or if people are using it.
Anyway, we offer installation of grub into /dev/mdX boot partition.
