Speaking of Aurora, last time I was playing with it, RAID on boot was not supported. So you couldn't have /boot on RAID1, and also attempting to do so would trash either partition table or file system superblock (!?), depending which order you attempt to do things. I don't know if it was problem with Aurora or with kernel. Have you attempted doing anything like that in your testing?
I don't know about that. I know that for ia64 the RHEL2.1 dfid let to mirror this VFAT /boot/efi, but RHEL3 didn't. I do believe that RHEL3-level stuff lets to mirror /boot on x86-64, but RHEL4 doesn't. The point being that this is working quite varying way even on mode mainstream stuff.
My recollection is that the trouble lies with silo, but I can't find the document that led me to that conclusion.
