I was under the impression that I can't boot off raid-5, but if that information is dated then all the better.
Thanks again.
Afaik, that´s still true. The reason is that the two (or more) drives of a raid 1 essentially hold the same data, and if you do everything right, the complete boot mechanism is on all disks, so that you can boot with any of them. On raid 5 disks, you would never have the complete data on any of the disks.
