Have not tried this with the new raid, but with the 0.42 tools, you
could lie to the raid setup and designate the same disk as BOTH disks
in the raid 1 setup
Trying to do a root-raid installation for raid-1 without using extra
partitions would be nice:
1) Do a normal install to 1st disk
2) Install raid stuff, build & install raid kernel
3) Make the 2nd disk a raid-1 device with just one disk.
4) copy your complete installation over to the raid dev
