Linux RAID 1

I'm setting up a software raid 1 in linux and had a question concerning the bootloader. Normally with raid 1 software you would have to manually create a bootloader in the MBR of each HDD in case one fails. But the thing is then when one fails you would always have to manually reinstall the bootloader onto the other drive. Is there a way for linux to also raid1 the MBR? I know hardware raid1 can do that but i don't think the software raid can. I didn't see that option when i was installing. If not, should i just install the bootloader into the /boot section of the drive?

So theres no way at all to make linux also automatically copy the MBR of one disk to the other disk when inserted while the other partitions are syncing? I only have software raid option as my via raid controller wont let me split the drives.
