I've always installed Boot Manager on MBR. So, it doesn't matter if you
use GRUB or LILO, MBR is outside the software raid partitions and you
will need to install boot manager on both disks. Anaconda left installed
the first disk, so you only need to install the second one. But it is an
interesting issue: some day I will install Boot Manager on /dev/md0 just
to see what happens.
