Note that /etc needs to be part of /, not its own filesystem. If
you're putting / inside an LV then you'll need to make sure that you
have an initrd/initramfs which can cope with that.
Also note that grub can't read LVM or RAID5 so /boot would need to
be on something that's either not RAID or is RAID1.
Can you show us your current /etc/fstab and /etc/mdadm.conf please?

What do you mean by '"system" disk'? Ideally you would remove the
dead disk and boot off one of the others that you had already
installed grub to, which gets its /boot from another of the RAID1
mirrors and then the machine boots as normal but with all arrays
degraded.
You can also boot off a decent live cd like knoppix, ubuntu or
gentoo and start up md/lvm from there to access your filesystems, of
course.
