'ang on a minute....

Maybe I'm being thick (a distinct possibility :) ) but I thought you 
could put /boot in a diddy little partition containing an initrd or 
somesuch and have the rest as software RAID0 (since the modules and 
whatnot could be loaded as the initial ramdisk)?

Or maybe I am tripping, or complicating things.
