All BIOSes I have seen in the past few years offer the option to select 
multiple boot devices with different priorities. Many BIOSes offer at least 
four different boot devices, some even eight.

By reading the source I have the feeling that ataraid is in some respects 
incomplete (e.g. degraded RAID 5 mode).
