I recently set up a RAID array at work and a while ago at home.  I have 
/boot on non RAID, but apparently it can be on RAID1.  On the work 
server, I used a 2 GB slice of the 1st drive for /boot and used the 2 GB 
slices on the other 3 drives for swap.  I used the rest of the drive 
space for RAID5  I then put LVM on top of the RAID array.
