[root at localhost ~]# more /boot/grub/menu.lst
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/md0

title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/md2 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
[root at localhost ~]#                    

This looks to me like it's using the partition on the first hdd as though it 
was were a normal partition. This should be fine shouldn't it if I'm only 
using mirroring.
