I've had no end of trouble with SILO and RAID-1. On my first few attempts to install Debian on the Netra, I ran into what I thought was a bug in silo.c, and hacking around with it produced varying degrees of success. As far as I can tell, the problem resulted from trying to install the boot block for a degraded /boot array (only /dev/sdb1 active). Anyway, using the method I described in my previous post, the SILO installation worked fine. I can boot from disk0:3 or disk1:3, which is what I wanted all along (the system can completely survive the loss of one disk).
