Comments/Problems:

I configured separate swap spaces on both disks, 256 MB at the start of 
 each. the rest of each disk was given to md0. grub installed in the 
 MBR, started, but couldn't boot from the md-device (although booting 
 from hd(a,b)2 worked fine, just not in RAID-1 mode).

Making the RAID-partitions come before the swap areas worked around the 
 problem, eg now I'm successfully using
  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1       19457   156288321   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdb1   *           1       19452   156248158+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdb2           19453       19929     3831502+  82  Linux swap
 (only one swap area instead of one on each disk, yes)

cheers,
&rw
