    I'm using grub from RedHat 9. I did have redhat installed on my 3rd disk
    and moved it to my
    raid array (a lot later). When I installed it, i had to install grub on
    floppy,
    boot from floppy, enter command-line and install to HDD from floppy.
    This is because
    the grub from redhat (i mean after you booted) doesn't detect the RAID
    correctly, and still sees
    hd0 as the primary master disk (hda, my 3rd disk).

    Anyway, this is what i've done, and it works. I actually installed it on
    the ext3 partition (from my
    raid) , and the MBR is the "standard" one from windows, with the ext3 as
    primary (so I can
    reinstall the other OS anytime without reinstalling grub).
