I have no issue preseeding an lvm install, what I'd like to do is be able to
create on md0 device (being software raid 1, spanned over 2 disks) and have
that whole md0 device be my lvm partition. Then be able cut up that lvm
partition into usable bits (/boot,/,/home etc)
I haven't been able to find a working preseed example of something like that.
and have had zero luck playing with it for a few days now.
