Like without actually doing it? I personally get bitten by the 'grub silently fails to install on all the drives in a /boot RAID array' from time to time. Its a pain in the arse as it requires booting from CD to fix it etc. And as for weird setups, we do have one machine with 10 drives in RAID1 for /boot. My preference would be for that even if we have to create a new package which is 'boot-my-server-at-all-costs' or something then I would install that as well on my machines. thanks
