fai and software RAID

[Yak Mandango]

I want to install a set of systems using software RAID1 with fai.   The RAID-ing method I've been using, for single dual-drive system installations needs a reboot, and then has an indefinite delay before completion.

I can write a script to detect when the delay ends (by parsing /proc/mdstat).  However, in the documentation, I don't see a ready method for integrating reboots into the fai process.

So, I'm considering how to properly integrate these steps.  I imagine that I might have fai set the system up to reboot, and run some additional rc's.  Those rc's would take the system from boot, complete the RAID installation, and then remove themselves from the boot process.

Does this process fit with fai's method?  Has anyone else used fai to install RAID'ed systems, or other systems that require rebooting during the installation process?
