Where is GRUB2's pointer to LVM LV / filesystem containing /boot?

It should be straightforward. Move "/boot" to a separate array, mount
it, add it to "/etc/fstab", run "grub-install /dev/sdX and
"grub-install /dev/sdY" where these two disks correspond to the raid
components, run "update-grub", and check that the UUID on the "set
root ..." line in "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" corresponds to the UUID of
your new "/boot".

(You can also check that the raid and lvm modules are loaded and that
the "root ..." argument points to the "/" lvm.)
