I confirm this (the bug exists at least in 6.06.1 and 6.10).

I just installed a new machine with two disks and with the following partitions:

sda1 NTFS sdb1 ext3 ==> used as /data
sda2 RAID sdb2 RAID ==> md0 used as /
sda3 RAID sdb3 RAID ==> md1 used as swap
sda4 RAID sdb4 RAID ==> md2 used as /home

After installation menu.lst has this invalid entry, i.e. (hd0,0) should be (hd0,1):

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/md0 ro quiet splash locale=fi_FI
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic
quiet
savedefault
boot

I had to edit the root entry before first successfull boot. Then I modified menu.lst to use the correct entry and now everything is okay. This might, however, be VERY confusing for newbies...
