You are correct - BIOS RAID is not an option if you want to save your current install. (unless you use dd to block copy your OS off to another spare drive, then install 2 [same size] drives, set up the bios raid, boot from the install cd and use dd to reinstall your OS onto the new mirror). Yes, you can mirror all partitions (/boot, /, /home & SWAP).
David, I guess this is not correct. When you enter the fakeraid BIOS you can make an array and choose 'copy' option. This will make the array and copy the content of disk1 to disk2. Or you can make the array without copying, then boot a live linux (eg knoppix) and use dd to copy disk1 to disk2. It is not necessary to copy disk1 to disk3, make array with disks 1 and 2, and copy back the data from disk3 to the array. However I agree that it is the safest solution since you will have a complete backup.
