md1 : active raid1 sdc1[3] sda1[0]
530100 blocks super 1.0 [3/2] [UU_]
NOTE: "super 1.0" above means this is mdraid version 1.0, not 0.9
Comments in bug 527401 (specifically comment 9) suggests that perhaps grub does not (yet?) support raid versions 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2
The upshot is that I'm unable to write the MBR and install grub on either /dev/sda, /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc :-(
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
