Personally. I can't see the point in using RAID for swap. So I use this partion on each drive as just a SWAP partition and add each swap in to give (in your case) 6G of swap space.
What to you envisage going in /boot? I make mine 100 M and that is always plenty.---- part3 primary Linux RAID <rest of the space> for root -- set up RAIDs ---- /dev/md0 - 2G - ext3 (or ext4) file system, mount point is /boot
