Software RAID won't help you if your primary disk gets an error in, say, the second stage loader.
I don't really buy this "booting" arguement. What's the failure scenario here? If the system is up and running, it will just keep humming along. The SCSI or ATA layer is supposed to detach a failed drive and geom will disable one part of the mirror.
You can react appropriately when you get the failure message.
Sure, if you're present.
I regularly ship systems overseas where the power fails frequently. The inability to boot because one disk got hosed is Bad News (tm).
It depends on your exact situation, I was just pointing out that SW RAID doesn't cover all the bases HW RAID does.
Murphy dictates that the moment one of your disks down your system will glitch/panic/etc and reboot and then you'll be stuffed :)
