Ok, so what you're saying is, that the specific case of having /boot on
softraid didn't work for you.  I may have missed that clarification in
your first email.  I do find it odd because I constantly test scenarios
where /boot is a small mirror and / is a large stripe and it seems to
work every time for me, often starting from blank disks.  I'll test that
scenario again soon, maybe there is something I'm doing that you're not,
or vice versa?
