Thanks Les, that has sorted it.

Is it just a limitation of the installer that it doesn't install grub on 
all the devices in the array?

I was guessing that it wouldn't be that difficult for the installer to 
do this, perhaps when you select /boot as the mount point for the raid 
device.

Thanks again
