You can have /boot on software RAID-1 reliably.  I've been using that 
kind of setup since Red Hat 7.x days, never had a single problem with it.

The only thing you should be aware of is that if you are using Grub as 
boot loader, there's bug in Anaconda (the installer) that it will 
install Grub only on the first disk.  This is trivial to correct once 
installation is done.  It was discussed many times on this list, as well 
as Red Hat's Fedora and Nahant lists.  This is not an reliability 
problem.  It is simply an annoyance.

If you use LILO as boot loader, everything simply works out-of-the-box, 
Anaconda will correctly install it on both drives.
