FWIW, LVM tends to get pissy if it's compiled with devfs, but not mounted.
It'll let you pvcreate extents, but will refuse to believe they are valid
when you try to add them to a VG, as I recall. I'll see if I can grab a
blank harddrive and do a test install sometime tonight to test this.
LVM2/device-mapper might be more forgiving, but I don't belive the install
kernel is patched with DM support.
