Does Centos 4.2 have the grub issue where the boot loader does not get installed onto both hard disks in a software Raid 1 environment?
if so does 4.3 solve that issue?

No. You should still keep disk one around to (re)install grub if you run into issues. Some people claim it works, some claim it doesn't.

Hi Guys You need to install GRUB to the MBR of both disks in the Raid 1 environment. see URL http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2003-07/1270.html for details on how to do this.
I have a FC3/FC4 system configured this way with no problems and you need a modern BIOS to proper use of it. (On commercial NIX's I think this part is still manual).
