I believe you mean RAID *1*. 0's slicing, 1's mirroring.

I'm not aware of any IDE-based RAID hardware (which doesn't mean it
doesn't exist), but is there something wrong with just using
RAIDframe for this? See raid(4) and raidctl(8).

If you're after a mirror of your boot partition... make it small,
make a copy, and rsync it to update. (Does it *really* change that
much? Are you sure?)
