My system isn't nearly as large (only 1.5 TB), however, I just wanted
to mention that you don't need a dedicated drive just for booting when
using software RAID.  I usually make my boot drive a RAID1 across all
of my installed disks, just to make sure the system can boot in the
event of multiple drive failure.

Since you're a Gentoo guy, the wiki has a good explanation on how to
boot from the RAID:
