Ignore the advice from Adam Wolfe - it's nonsense. Use the Debian
installer (advanced mode) to create the RAID 5 array on drives with
just one partition (whole disk) as /dev/md0. Then partition the RAID
5 array into / and /home. Install and reboot.
If you are using Wheezy this will work directly. If you are using
Squeeze then you may need to fix the UUID in /boot/grub.cfg.
I've done this successfully several times. It just works.
Eh. I tried that too. Grub failed to install.
If grub doesn't install, then install it. Boot using the Debian
installer as a rescue CD, start the RAID array, chroot to the /
partition and install grub.
