The appropriate solution is to put an 8-16 meg partition as the first
partition on the first two drives (all the drives) in the system. Set
those up as raid one and mount them on /boot. Use these as the boot
boot partitions in a mostly raid 5 system. Likewise, segment swap
partitions into pairs on the raid5 disk set and create raid 1 arrays
for swap
