I've successfully got 101b installed and booting and mirrored. I did get a "Bad PBR sig" error after the install onto a single disk, and subsequently noticed the slices on that disk were slightly off: slice 8 (boot) was on cylinder 0, but slices 0 and 2 ended on different cylinders. I adjusted the end of slice 0, ran installgrub on it, and it now boots. I copied that vtoc over to the other disk and ran installgrub on it too. I'm not 100% convinced it'll boot if half the mirror's not there, but I was rearranging the drives on the controller at the time. Presumably that's a terrible idea? Now to recover the bits from my dying disk...
