I'd like to be able to create either a simple RAID 1 layout with two 
disks, with a separate /boot partition, or a simple RAID 5 layout with 4 
disks, with a separate /boot partition too.

The layouts are described in this little Slackware-based HOWTO I wrote, 
and which I'm using on my servers. It's in French, but the command-line 
bits are universal :o)
