    Hi,

    Yes, it really is md0. My / partition is a RAID1 of md0. Mountpoints are as follows:
    / md0 (/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb1)
    /var md1 (/dev/sda3,/dev/sdb2)
    swap md2 (/dev/sda5,/dev/sdb3)
    /boot (/dev/sda1)
    /export (/dev/hda1)

    I'm trying to install GRUB to the MBR of /dev/hda because that disk is
    recognizable by the BIOS.

    Cheers,
    Harry
