I found some instructions that may allow this to work but requires packing a non-standard initrd: http://nil-techno.blogspot.com/2009/02/booting-fakeraid-raid5-linux-half-assed.htmlgrub2 can handle "/boot" on mdraid raid5 (and possibly dmraid raid5 too).
That's ok, my boot partition is /dev/sda1 (500MB) - dedicated to being /boot and nothing else, and all my RAID partitions are /dev/sd*2.
I didn't realise grub2 could handle that, though. Thanks. -- Steve Dowe Warp Universal Limited http://warp2.me/sd
