Be careful: there are 2 ways of setting up RAID-1 (mirror) for a partitioned 
disk:

• mirror the entire disk, ie sda & sdb

• mirror partition by partition, ie sda1 & sdb1; sda2 & sdb2; ...

If the second way then unless grub-install is run on both disks then it might
only be present on one of them.
