:) feel free to upgrade: the latest version on the linux-raid wiki
can handle non-RAIDed systems as well, and parses /etc/fstab to find
your root filesystem...

As far as I know GRUB can't handle RAID at all. LILO can handle RAID-1
and LVM (barely) but not both at once.

GRUB is quite a disappointment to me: LILO is so cruddy in so many ways,
yet GRUB manages to come in worse in virtually every situation in which
I've actually needed a non-simpleton bootloader :(
