Normally, the disks in RAID are identical (software or hardware RAID
-- at least, on systems I've seen that's true) -- they even get the
same UUID.  Disk order should not matter.  Unless of course the boot
sector wasn't RAIDed.  Then you may need the correct disk in the first
slot, like with GRUB.  Only way I know to test that is keep trying
different disks in the first slot.
