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).
