I just did 2 reinstalls in the last two weeks (upgrade from sqeeze to wheezy screwed up my grub config and then my 6 year old drives started failing - so much fun :), but basically during both reinstalls and creating MD devices with debian installer (md0/md1/md2) using two drives sda/sdb, by default the installer just installed grub on MBR of the first device sda. I didn't see an option to install it everywhere. So, after reboot I did a manual # grub-install /dev/sda # grub-install /dev/sdb Now when I choose to boot from either first disk or second disk, it works fine. Did I miss something during the debian installation?
