I also found etch not to allow this. Lenny however has the newer grub
which can boot of a mdXX device. :)
However, unexplained is, you have to manually install grub to each
device in the raid. I fell for this, when HDD caddies killed two
devices in my raid, I replaced the drives, and upon reboot got that
dreaded flashing cursor. Thats how I discovered you have to install
grub to each drive in the array.
