Comments/Problems:
After trying a few times and digging in how grub exactly was working I finally managed to get my debian working on my new computer. After all installing Debian (even / & /boot) on a raid-1 system is quite easy (if you find what is going wrong at least...)
One partition for WinXp and one for data was already existing in RAID1 before installing Debian.
It seems that for an unkown reason grub configures the /boot/grub/menu.lst incorrectly:
doing a find /boot/grub/stage2 returns (hd0,2) (hd1,2) what seems logic for raid1
despite this it configures root (hd0,0) for the Debian entry
The existing windows partition is found and configured correctly on (hd0,0) and (hd1,0) (note -> this gives me two entries for one WindowsXp in the boot-menu but that is expected behaviour)
Work-around go to the terminal before restarting the system for ending the installation and edit /target/boot/grub/menu.lst and correct the error. Reboot and finish the installation.
Last thing I know wishes to do but don not know who can help me is mount the fat partition in linux under RAID1 to be able to exchange data with WinXp.
/etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/md0 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/etc/grub/device.map

For the rest great work ! Thanks
