Thanks! It does help! When you're in the main installer window of the
Arch Linux CD, you you skip the "Install Bootloader" option or do you
select it? The Wiki indicates that I should skip it and do it manually
however my /boot and / partitions are not under RAID. Just my /home
partition is. I would think I should be able to use it, no?

Even when I simply try to install Arch with a separate RAID1 /home
partition, I have no luck.
