I am not sure what you refer to. With SL5 and SL6 you have 2 disks,
put "/" on a software RAID1 partitions put grub on both disks (grub,
device (hd0) /dev/sda, root (hd0), setup, done; grub device (hd0) /dev/sdb,
root (hd0), setup, done) and watch your machine boot from either disk -
on need for separate "/boot", everything is "properly raided". All this is
done automatically by the SL installer.
