So it happens to work if you're doing RAID1. I've personally always done RAID1 with simply a second bootloader on the other disk. It might not always failover if there is a horrible physical failure and a reboot happens, but I don't necessarily want it to if the disk has died. If it dies while running, and it's a cheapish SATA disk, the system will probably survive.
