I kept digging and apparently the SAS controller in this thing has the 
lovely moniker of "fakeRAID". :)  That cleared up some details in that 
grub by default doesn't know how to handle a fakeRAID system that uses 
anything other than RAID1 unless the dmraid module is loaded at boot.

I gave up and used soft RAID on the drives with three partitions on each 
drive (md0, swap, md1).  Boot is sitting on one array and root is on 
another.
