If that wasn't clear, I meant to make the two drives into a single RAID 1, *then* partition that for root, swap, and boot.
I don't know the answer to that question, but what I can tell you is that I handle software RAID setup in kickstart, creating the partitions manually, so that I can replace drives using a shell script. Making the

The solved part: I did the <alt-F2> and created the RAID 1. I went back to the GUI, and tried to rescan... it didn't find it, didn't show any drives, then it showed the two real drives... then it gagged, and crashed, and rebooted. HOWEVER, when I tried the next time, anaconda's probing found the RAID, and I'm installing now.
