I am currently dual booting Gentoo and Windoze on an SATA RAID 0. My boot |
| 2 |
partition is installed on the RAID as the two hard drives are the only |
| 3 |
bootable media I have in my system. I was able to get it going thanks in |

I've been playing with Linux for about a year and a half and Gentoo is the |
| 9 |
first Distro that I have been able to get to run on my hardware how I want |
| 10 |
(or at all). I'm fairly convinced that with enough time you can pretty much |
| 11 |
get this distro to do what ever you want, but this is besides the point. |
| 12 |
Basically I'm just trying to point out the fact that you can run your boot |
| 13 |
partition from the RAID 0 with no additional media required to boot. |
