Making sure to partition the right disk(s)

[Diego Zuccato]

Wonderful!
I'll wait for 6.2 to be out, then.
For now, the use of explicit device path can be enough, but being able 
to tell it to "select the 2 small disks and create a RAID1" is surely 
way better (and handles disk replacement w/o reconfiguration).

PS: looking at the source, I noticed that a partition labeled "MY-DATA" 
is automatically mounted to /media/data . Does it work only for boots 
from CD or also from network? It could be useful to store machine's 
static data (SSH server key, just to say one)...
