make /boot ext2 and you can have a raid1 root. the debian installer has
problems setting up persistent superblocks, though. i recommend installing
to a sparce drive, then making the arrays, copy everything other, and
install silo.

i've used reiserfs on sparc for a while. never had any problems. i didn't
stress it much, though. i haven't tried raid on sparc, but it should be
endian clean (i think i've run it on ppc).
