Hello,
as I have written to this list on 21 May 2006 21:19:28 +0200
under 'install-mbr on amd64?' grub does work well with RAID1.
To enable booting from all disks in the RAID, you just need
to run 'grub-install /dev/xxy' where xxy is, e.g. hdb or sdb,
depending on your system, after you installed grub within d-i.
Or, as written in the Software-RAID HOWTO: call grub and type:
grub>device (hd0) /dev/xxy
grub>root (hd0,0)
grub>setup (hd0)
If you do not plan extraordinary boot related things, both,
lilo or grub, should work for you. To a large degree it is
a matter of taste (no flamewar, please).
