Am confused as to what you mean, I'm just replying.
* look at the thread
* you got an answer BELOW your post
* your answer is on top
so who in the world should ever can read this thread?
on most mailing lists you should NOT top-post
it's ok if the whole thread is top-posting, but only then

I've put /boot on a raid 1 partition.
When installing the boot loader it gives you the option of master boot
record or the raid device so naturally tried both, unsure why it gives
you the option for raid device if this is wrong.
what fedora version are you trying to install?
F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said
i have no single expierience with F16 exepct that a RAID1/RAID10 setup
in a virtual machine was upgraded without problems but it is still
using GRUB and not GRUB2
How do you install it manually?
in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd"
but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install
this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed
from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all
