I have a workaround for this. I usually just edit /etc/mtab and
change the /dev/md* entries with the corresponding /dev/sda*
partitions. Use lsraid to determine what those are (or look at your
/etc/raidtab). Then the 'grub-install /dev/sda' should work. You may
also want to do the same for /dev/sdb. Don't forget to change them back
to what they were or things might get a little confused (df, for one,
will not show the correct information). It's a hack, but it's worked
for me. However, I've never tried booting either of my soft-raid1 disks
without the other one.
