Details

After manually setting up my raid devices and going through /arch/setup, the installer fails to install grub properly. First off it uses "DEVICE NOT FOUND" as the root, and even after this is fixed in the grub.conf, it reverts to trying to use this when "install grub" is chosen.

Catch me in IRC if you need more description.

Also, it'd be nice to be able to mount multiple swap partitions if it's not too hard of a change (1 on each raid disk).
This task depends upon

<supa_user> tpowa: no, raid doesn't need stopped
<supa_user> say you have / on md0 with sda1 and sdb1
<supa_user> you just do a "install-grub /dev/sda /dev/sda1" and "install-grub /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1"
<supa_user> and setup doesn't seem to use the grub.conf I configured when choosing install grub from the menu

make a new request for swap partitions, the grub install bug is now solved.
partitions is a bigger thing that needs to be worked on
