Installing FC3 x86_64 onto SATA RAID (gigabyte k8vnxp)

I'm about to blast my existing 32-bit system and take the plunge into
64-bit. I've decided that this calls for a fresh install since I'm
currently at FC1.

My Gigabyte K8VNXP supports SATA RAID and I have a new HDD on order, so
that I'll have 2 160Gb SATA drives which I want to make into a RAID 1
array.

Can I do most things via the BIOS (i.e. configuration of the RAID
array) and then just install FC3 as normal? Or do I have to get some weird
drivers and build initrd images and things for the array to be recognised?
I can't seem to find any information about how to go about this.
