Replying to my own post ...

From: http://www.linux-sxs.org/hardware/raid_for_idiots.html by our own David 
Bandel

"Once your new RAID disk has been partitioned and all but the swap partition 
are type Linux raid autodetect (fd), the hard part is done.  N.B. I chose not 
to RAID swap.  However you may if you like.  I kept two separate swap 
partitions, one on each disk, for extra speed.  Your choice, RAID if you like, 
but you'll take a slight performance hit."

Now if I could just find that comment I read somewhere that it'll crash anyway 
even if you put swap in RAID. Seems wrong to me, but I'm still learning.
