Booting software RAID1 is kind of an oddball case. You actually boot
on the disk that bios considers your boot drive only, and it works
because the drives are mirrored and happen to look the same whether
you look at the partition or the raid device. You need to install
grub separately onto each disk of the pair, though. If you get this
part wrong, you can boot from an install/rescue disk and fix it.
