Whatever...???
What part of my statement does not make sense to you?
How about:
"or compile special tools to boot raid partitions. Someone has
developed info on that, but the address escapes me now, search the web
and it should turn up."
In other words. It's not possible to simply compile in raid support and
setup the device and then boot off of it right out of the box. It takes
work, kernel patches, kernel support, among other things.
