5 | What I think, is that since it's software SATA RAID, fdisk will see
6 | 2 disks to partition. Does anyone know how to set the system to
7 | RAID1? I also need to have exactly the same partitions on the disks...

9 forget about software raid provided by your controller
10 use linux raid1 module
11
12 see linux raid howto for more details
13
14 either you have yet another disk where you start the installation,
15 create raid1 on your disks and then move the stuff there, or you can
16 start with one of two sata disks, then create raid on both of them and
17 mark the 'starting one' as defect; move your installation onto raid
18 and then re-enable the 'starting disk' so that it is overwritten by
19 the mirror of the other one
20
21 the second ways does not require additional disk but is slightly more
22 complicated, so if you are doing it for the first time, and have a
23 spare disk, i would recommend you the first way

25 regards,
