Sure.  I do this on my home server, so I never have to worry about 
rebooting headlessly after swapping a RAID drive (or have to 
install GRUB on every single one).

You've lost me here, though.  Why is this needed?  What needs to 
work?

Oh…  are you using some hardware RAID that GRUB can't see?

Does it provide advantages that mdraid wouldn't?
