For Fake RAID, I'm not sure but I would say that the bios is able to
read the RAID metadata as well.
For (md) Soft RAID, I don't know. I would say that the bios is
unlikely to understand the md metadata stored in the /boot partition
so it won't work.
there is no big difference between EFI and legacy systems in this area.
Well  the main difference I can see is that EFI firmwares access a
filesystem where as BIOS doesn't in order to load  the bootloader.

In the case of BIOS you can still rely on a bootloader such as grub to
access a partition with MD RAID on it.

Thanks
