Booting off of a Hardware RAID disk via a PCI adapter or a SCSI-SCSI RAID
box (Like a DAC960SX or a standalone array) would work just fine, no
machine should be able to tell that it's not just one big disk.

I think even sometning like one of the HW IDE Raid cards would boot just
fine, provided you could get it configured in the first place without a
PeeCee BIOS level access.  Perhaps if you put it in an intel box and
configured it first, then moved it and the drives into a Mac, and then
formatted it for Mac use...
