> as grub won't be able to install to a boot sector of a "virtual" disk

it needs a physical device. Grub won't have loaded any drivers to make the raid array visable at boot time

you need a single disk really.

I installed grub on an old IBM Rackmount server with dual processors and a scsi raid setup over three disks. The raid was handled IN HARDWARE by the raid controller (You set this up through the controllers' BIOS).

As far as FDISK was concerned it was just a big disk... I partitoned it how I wanted, built LFS, and Grub installed fine and booted the system perfectly...
