greetings,
i just know i have read several times on this list and in other places that on a RAID5 array that the MBR should be placed on the /boot partition.
is this truly correct and if so, why?
my experiences of putting the MBR on the /boot partition are contrary to that it will even work and boot that way...
comments please?

mbr should be put in boot blocks unless you have some other boot manager handling boot and needs to hand off the boot.
