I am coming to Fedora from Debian and would appreciate some help please.

In Debian I was able to quickly install a system (vm/real) using
debootstrap.  I am looking for a way to do this in Fedora.

So far I have tried using the instructions here while running under a
live CD : 
http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Building_a_Xen_Guest_Root_Filesystem_using_yum_and_rpm

and then installing mdadm, lvm2, kernel, and grub2.  I change the
password and then try to reboot and it keeps getting stuck with not
being able to start the RAID after the reboot.  I am able to do mdadm
-A /dev/md/{raid}  and then exit until the system boots.  I have tried
rerunning dracut --kver 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64 and it runs and
creates the new initrd file.  Then I run grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg and it keeps having problems with errors not
being able to access "/dev/md0  " (I added the quotes due to finding
this page : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981909. )  I
have symlinked "/dev/md0  " > /dev/md0 and gotten rid of the errors
but it is still not starting the RAID.

Does anyone have a better way to do this kind of install or a way to
resolve this problem with Grub2 that I haven't been able to find?

I have also tried running the net install cd but it won't let me just
install everything under the / on a 25GB lv with a 5GB swap lv.

Thank you in advance.
