[ale] SW Raid

[Kevin O'Neill Stoll]

I too would have to remove a drive to see exactly what
happens but for some reason I seem to remember reading
something when I was setting mine up that talked about
configuring /boot as a raid device and that grub would pick
up the second drive fine.

Can't find the article now, though.
