    There is some mention on the SuSE manuals (printed or electronic) on
    setting up raid from the install point, so check it. It might work.

    I suppose it means going to expert mode in yast, create custom partitions,
    and use them. If they already exist (as autoraid), I suppose you can
    simply select them).
