Yes, that works. That's how one of the TNF machines is set up.You'll find that grub-install will refuse to work right because it will *insist* that it can't identify hd0 or hd1 even if you tell it explicitly where they are. But you can use the grub "shell" to get the boot blocks onto hd(0,0) and to tell it to boot from hd(0,0,g) where that's the partition that's offset by an additional 64 sectors from the actual start of the RAIDset, and is of type 4.2BSD in the disklabel.
Of course, the right way to fix this is to KILL KILL KILL the dependency on Grub.
