You probably want to be clear that /boot is RAID-1 only (unless grub2
has *really* come a long way).

Also, I see 3 possible scenarios:

1. create a brand new software RAID-1 device and format it
2. format an existing software RAID-1 device
3. use an existing software RAID-1 device without formatting

I think it's worthwhile being specific about which are supported.
