How can you boot from raid 5, if the kernel is distributed on 3 disks, can not be found as a contiguous block anywhere?
Pretty standard. Grub2 is now a mini-operating-system in its own right (like emacs, it comes with a kitchen sink installed :-). Load the raid module into grub, and it will happily boot off a raid system (or lvm, or whatever, with the right modules), and it couldn't care where /, or /boot, are. You just need to make sure you use an initrd to boot, as user-space is required to assemble a raid array, and of course no initrd == no user space == no way to boot off modern linux raid. (That's for bios systems - uefi is different, don't ask me how as I haven't yet played with it.) The only way to boot off raid with no initrd is to use a mirror with a v0.9 or v1.0 superblock.
