If I remember correctly, Gentoo doesn't automatically mount the /boot so if the system crashes, the /boot partition is left alone, no need for a mirroring system. At one point you couldn't boot from anything but ext2, but I think that is long gone.
One thing I want to play with is LVM. I had set up my video server and didn't do LVM. Now I added a drive and had to change the setup slightly. With the LVM, I could have added the drive and extended the video partition to include it.
Oh well, next time I upgrade that box.
