I think that you have to use an actual disk or disk partition as target.
At least, that's how I did it with "grub" where a disk is specified with
something like "(hd0)" and a partition as "(hd0,0)".
To have the loader available, even if one of the disks in the array
fails, you just install it on every disks that composes "/dev/md0".
