That would probably happen if mdadm is still syncing the RAID when the
initrd is created (during kernel installation in base-installer). While
the array is being synced, the secondary device is not yet active.
One option would be to detect this and display a dialog while waiting for
this process to finish.
We could probably even display a progress bar using info from mdadm.
