from memory but the outline of who I install
Create 3 paritions 1 2 3 on sda and sdb of 500M 10G (this is going to be
raid1) the rest of the hard drive
select all the partitions to be a raid device
configure raid
md0 = sda1 sdb1
md1 = sda2 sdb2
md2 = sda3 sdb3
select md0 as type ext2 mount /boot
select md1 as type ext3 mount /
select md2 as type lvm device
configure lvm
... create your lvm partitions ....
select each one and specify fs type and mount point
then proceed
