I have no clue on the current state.  I have had this setup for a while
now...

>df |head -1 ; df |grep boot
Filesystem     Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1      ext4      579M  125M  413M  24% /bootalt
/dev/sda1      ext4      579M  125M  413M  24% /boot


Everything else is on various raid1 partitions.  The above is kept
identical via a nightly rsync.  The boot block stuff is installed on
both sda & sdb.  And yup, would have to swap positions if sda fails.
Oh, don't forget to raid the swap partition also; you want *everything*
to be able to continue after a drive failure.
