From http://dev.jerryweb.org/raid/ :

This seems to be saying install GRUB onto the MBR of a disk (md devices
don't have an MBR) and note that part where it says to copy GRUB to the
boot partition. I don't know exactly what he meant by that since the
only way I know to copy GRUB is to run the grub command and install it
onto a MBR. By definition, a raid1 that is restored will copy all it's
data to the replaced HD, leaving no reason to "copy GRUB to the boot
partition" unless he is meaning the grub command.

If anybody knows different, please educate me.
