there have been a couple of similar questions on the grub maillist lately
- - unfortunatley they are unanswered but ...

- From reading the mailing list, it appears that GRUB works with RAID-1 on ex=
t2fs.  I'm running FreeBSD (and Win2K) on a RAID-0 array.  Before I set u=
p the array, GRUB was my preferred boot loader.

I was wondering whether there are plans to get GRUB to work with RAID level=
s other than RAID-1, and with RAID on other filesystems.
