The last time I setup a linux software RAID was way over a year ago. I can't
even remember if I ever tried that with a RAID1. I was always using the latter
case I mentioned in the few set ups I did.
If the partition has a normal superblock, GRUB will read from it.
If it does not, but it has a normal ext2 FS, it will take some minor
changes to GRUB to read from it.
I don't know if the current Linux RAID1 leaves a normal superblock in logical
sector 0 of a RAID1 partition or not. (It should. If it doesn't it's yet
another reason I won't use Linux software RAID. : P)
