If you do `grub-install /dev/sda' then it should be in your device.map.
Either run "grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy" or grub-install with `--recheck --no-floppy'.

By the way grub2 does support the linux software raid fully, with it you
could just do `grub-install "(md0)"' if /dev/md0 is your /boot, to
install it on all raid disks.
