Thanks guys for the input. I'll test it out. Another question, if one

tested, when I plugged out one of the hard disk, it just can't boot...
I'm not sure why....
Had a similar issue. With lilo no problem. With grub had a problem.
Here is the link that helped me with grub and seems to work well.

Remember to grub both drives. Then it will boot up with any one of the
drives.
Please note that with sata, the drive name changes when the drive is
taken out. For example from sdb1 will change to sda1 when sda1 is taken
out.

Forgot to mention. Was using raid 1.
I think it is not possible to boot from software raid 5.
