[arch-general] syslinux and grub

Following the instructions at
  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Software_RAID_and_LVM#RAID_installation
it says "This tutorial will use SYSLINUX".

However, towards the bottom of the page it says:
 "Once you have successfully booted your new system for the first time, you
will want to install Grub onto the other two disks (or on the other disk if
you have only 2 HDDs)" and proceeds to show how to do this.

This is very confusing (to me, anyway). Is this really what one is supposed to
do, even though it says that SYSLINUX will be used in the tutorial? Perhaps
it's something to do with the difference between grub and grub2, but in any
case to someone just following the instructions it isn't at all clear why this
section talks about grub instead of syslinux.
