You can make /boot on raid too, but only raid1. Dont forget to
compile raid1 support into kernel, not modules. You can make
/dev/md0 for /boot out of 4 small partitions (sda1,sdb1,sdc1,sdd1).
All other partitions can be on raid0+1 or any other combination.
My own opinion: if I had 4x good 250GB sata drives, I'd probably
do raid1 for /boot, and raid5 for rest...

...or RAID 6 if you're paranoid.
