Hm - would this load the kernel from raid0a, or from the alternate
partition (raid0h in your case)?

Technically, it won't be loading from raid anything. It'll boot from drive 0 with a filesystem offset at 64 sectors after the usual start of wd0a. So for instance, if RAIDframe has failed the wd0 component of raid0 and you update the kernel, you'll end up booting the old kernel as wd0 won't have been updated.
