It is okay to have that /boot partition as an MD device (i.e.
mirrored) as well, whether that is Original + 1 Copy or Original + 4
Copies. I would advocate mirroring your root or boot partition as a
safety precaution.

I boot my kernel with 'root=/dev/md0' and that works fine. hda1 and
hdc1 is the two parts in that mirror, so grub has no problems locating
my kernel.
