I'm trying to install grub on a seperate partition that doesn't overwrite the Windows boot manager. The catch is that I'm using software raid and don't understand how the grub notation carries over.
Below is my partition layout from the debian installer. I used an LVM called AD. I want to put Grub2 on the 512 MB partition number 5. How do I tell grub2 that using the grub notation (hdn,m).
<pre>
debian Partition disks window
Configure Encrypted volumes
LVM VG AD, LV home - 5.2 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
> #1 5.2 GB ext3
LVM VG AD, LV home - 10.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
> #1 10.0 GB ext3
Serial ATA RAID isw_diidgiggif_Volume0(stripe) - 256.1 GB Linux device-mapper (striped)
> #5 logical 511.7 MB ext3
> #6 logical 17.2 GB K lvm
> #1 primary 104.9 MB B ntfs
> #2 primary 120.9 GB ntfs
> primary 117.3 GB FREE SPACE
Serial ATA RAID isw_diidgiggif_Volume0p1(partition #p1) - 104.9 MB Linux device-mapper (linear)

Serial ATA RAID isw_diidgiggif_Volume0p2(partition #p2) - 120.9 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)

Serial ATA RAID isw_diidgiggif_Volume0p5(partition #p5) - 511.7 MB Linux device-mapper (linear)

Serial ATA RAID isw_diidgiggif_Volumep6(partition #p6) - 17.2 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
Undo changes to partitions
Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

Thanks a lot for any help, I've been stuck on this for days.
