No, bug report #462691.

I used the partman tool, but experimented with what partitions to
create until I found one that worked. So, I figured the result should
be recorded somewhere as at least one known working partitioning
scheme, even though the guided partitioner didn't arrive there.
It seems that yaboot refuses to boot the kernel from any RAID or LVM
partition, so I had to keep the /boot partition separate from RAID :-(
