I've never done raid on / so I don't know. I'd imagine you can make /boot on it's own small partition, and then have / get mounted up via a RAID partition.

Remember you can edit /etc/daily and have it dd up the root filesystem to another hard drive, this way if it fails, you can still boot off the other partition (Look for ROOTBACKUP in /etc/daily)

It's easiest to bring the box down to single user mode, tar up all your exisiting partition, create the raid partition, then copy the data back. Just remember not to use gzip to compress the tarballs, since gzip is in /usr/bin, not /bin, so when you boot single user you won't have access to it... (been there, done that ;)
