RAID5 - MBR and default grub config on CentOS 4

[roberth at abbacomm.net (Robert Hanson)]

greetings,

i just know i have read several times on this list and in other places that
on a RAID5 array that the MBR should be placed on the /boot partition.

is this truly correct and if so, why?

my experiences of putting the MBR on the /boot partition are contrary to
that it will even work and boot that way...

comments please?

regards,

 - rh
