you can 'dd' the MBR and then re-add the partitions to the raid for
resyncing with 'mdadm'.
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
# mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1
# mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2
If you want to really make sure you got everything you could dd the
whole first track with:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=63
