Ian, That link was most helpful! Suggestion to any RedHat ears listening here, this procedure is *far* less intuitive than it could be. Given disks are nearly free these days, how about giving us RAID with a dramatically reduced installation workload for us non-guru's.

I have 2 drives (sda2,sdb1) (not sure why a2 isn't a1) that are identical and I wish to put /boot and / on them. I have a 3rd drive (sdc1) I want to put /u and /swap onto. I simply want sda2 and sdb1 to be a RAID 1 mirror, covering as much of the Opsys as s/w RAID will allow. If anybody has any such checklist for any configuration I could most likely tailor it to my needs. It's just I have no monkey-see list to adapt.
