If you're going to install Debian from scratch on this machine: the Debian
installer can install Debian on a RAID 1 natively, no need to fiddle with
all the tools manually.
In the partitionar: create exactly the same partitioning scheme on both
disks (for those partitions that you want to use RAID on), and instead of
chosing 'Reiser' or 'ext3' as the filesystem for each partition, pick 'RAID
autodetect'.
Then select the 'set up RAID' option in the partitioner, just carefully read
and follow the instructions. You'll then come back again to the
partitioner, and in addition to the physical hard drive, you'll see the
RAID partitions added, and you can now create filesystems and specify mount
points on the RAID partitions.
I'm using grub, and the system was set up bootable. I didn't test failure
behaviour - maybe the system won't boot from the 2nd hard drive, but as
this is a desktop system there will always be some boot CD around, so I'm
not going to worry.
