my system has 4 disks, but /dev/md0 is a RAID1 for /boot.  (/dev/md1 is a
RAID5 and LVM is on top of it...)  anyhow, this is what works for me.
i've even pulled out a disk and it still boots.

btw, you really don't want to put two drives on an IDE controller.  not
just for performance reasons -- if a master drive fails it can easily
prevent access to the slave... so you'll have a two disk failure on your
hands.  or maybe this is just urban legend and i'm spreading it further ;)
