whole disk RAID partitioned directly, with Grub BIOS partition

[David Dreezer]

How about something like


# example of new config file for setup-storage
#
# <type> <mountpoint> <size>   <fs type> <mount options> <misc options>

disk_config disk1 align-at:32256B

disk_config raid

raid1   swap    disk1.5,disk2.5 swap    sw
