I recently did an Etch install on amd64. Raid1 /boot, raid1 pv0, with
everything but /boot on lvs (root, home, usr, var, swap). Everything
was set up perfectly with no booting problems. I even installed grub on
the second disk's mbr so I can boot from either.
So I know it worked for me and I don't know what happend for you.
Good Luck.
Doug.
