Hello hendrik,
The link below should be of help to you. Its a howto for setting up
mirror
raid 0 but its how you start the install with the sarge installer that should
be of intrest to you.
http://nepotismia.com/debian/raidinstall/part1.html
Start the install with the expert26 option and then pick the md module
for
the a raid enabled kernel.
