Comments/Problems:

I wanted to install a Raid 1 system with 2 active disks and one missing spare. After selecting
no partition for the spare, no MD drive was created but I was back at the create raid prompt.

I got around this by using a recovery disk to create the md drive before starting the install.



--As an additional problem, the entire install failed in that the new system would hang during
the boot (Someting after usb discovery)
