Ok...

So a strip? Did you mean Raid 1 (Mirror)?

So I am sure you meant Raid 1, otherwise I suspect you see the futility
in this?

You need to install grub to both discs, whereas the installer just hits
the first disc. In my MD Raid kickstart for systems like this I %post a
grub script that works as you describe:

# Install grub to both discs
/sbin/grub --batch >/root/grub_install.log <<EOF
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
quit
EOF

I actually use this on a dev system, I pull one of the two discs, boot and
do my tests then rebuild from the outdated original, works well...
