No, the fedora installer really doesn't like /boot on RAID.  Must be a 
wicked problem, because people have complained loudly for a while now 
about this bug.

The nice thing about software RAID1 is that you can let grub read 
/dev/sda1 as if it were a normal partition (instead of a member of the 
raid group), since all the raid metadata is at the end of the device. 
Then once you boot, you can re-sync (if needed).
