As long as I know Grub and RAID don't work very well ok. But you can try 
to install grub anyways. If you edit device.map file in /boot/grub/ 
folder and you add the following line:

(hd0)   /dev/hdd

This way when running grub he will act to (hd0) as your hard disk.
And at least one device will be detected.

You can add:

(fd0)   /dev/floppy

if you want to have an access to your floppy.
