Dell Precision BIOSes can't see or add drives attached to the card to the boot order. The card can't otherwise get itself to boot. You need a rescue cd to boot from the first drive. (that's a syslinux feature) The kubuntu installer has this option on the menu.

If you are running your os on another disk, I guess it might be okay, but the linux software raid is pretty good on its own.
