Addendum: the usual linux installation do _not_ install the boot loader
onto both disks in a software RAID 1. This means if the first disk
dies, the second cannot be used to boot w/o fixing this issue first.

I dont know about ubuntu, but the debian boot disks support a "rescue mode"
where you can reinstall grub with a single key press.
