setup-storage and grub issue

Hi all,
I started playing around with setup-storage to setup a
lvm-on-raid1-2disk box. setup-storage really works out fine, but grub
installation fails, apparently because the $BOOT_DEVICE is set nowhere.
disk_var.sh only defines $SWAP_LIST and $ROOT_PARTITION
This is my disk_config:
disk_config disk1
primary swap 2000 swap sw
primary - 0- - -
primary - 0- - -
primary - 0- - -
disk_config disk2
primary swap 2000 swap sw
primary - 0- - -
primary - 0- - -
primary - 0- - -
disk_config raid
raid1 / disk1.2,disk2.2 ext3 rw
# LVM:
raid1 - disk1.3,disk2.3 - -
raid0 /tmp disk1.4,disk2.4 xfs rw -f
# config the LVM
disk_config lvm
vg system md1
system-var /var 6G-10G xfs rw -f
system-home /home 8G-14G xfs rw -f
system-data /data.local1 0- xfs rw -f
"-f" switch is needed to force mkfs.xfs to reformat partitions on
reinstalls. This should probably be the default unless lazyformat is set
(but that seems currently unimplemented)?
Gratious for any hints,
Christopher
P.S.: mkfs.xfs also warns about "device mapper device but no dmsetup(8)
found". Probably dmsetup should be installed to the FAI-nfsroot?
