Boot from the DVD, mount md3 and md1, chroot to md3, run "grub-install /dev/sda", "grub-install /dev/sdb", "update-grub", "update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)", exit, and try rebooting into your install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
