[Solved]How do I install Grub on software raid0?

I've been sitting with this problem all morning and now I need to ask for some help.
I successfully create, mount and install software raided partitions but where/how do I install grub?

Some system info:

Software raid0

2 drives

/boot at /dev/md0 which is /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1

/ at /dev/md1 which is /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2

my menu.lst line is like this:

kernel /kernel26 root= /dev/md1 ro  md=0,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 md=1,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2

I'm installing using the 2009.02 i686 core installer on a usbstick.

I've used these two guides: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … Using_raid

Grub doesn't know about RAID, so you install it to /dev/sda aka (hd0).

Noticed, Did a separate partition for /boot and now it works like a charm
