Installing FC5 on Hardware Raid1 with SATA HD on Tyan Server

I have a Tyan Transport GT20 server.  The server has an onboard Adaptec RAID
device and an onboard Intel RAID device.
 
I've installed FC3 and FC4 on single drive systems in the past without
issues.

This is the first time I've installed Fedora (I'd like to try FC5) in a
RAID0 configuration.
 
Hardware...
 
Tyan Transport GT20 based on Tyan Tomcat i7221A S5151 motherboard
Adaptec RAID and IntelRAID ROMs on the motherboard
Twin 400GB Western Digital SATA Harddrives.
 
I'd like to use the hardware RAID to mirror the installation on both drives
(RAID1), so if one fails, I can just replace and rebuild via the RAID
utility.
 
Can someone guide me step-by-step how to accomplish this?
 
Does it matter if the drives are Master and Slave, or should I use the bays
that both make them Masters?
Should I be using the Adaptec RAID?
 
Thanks,

Karl Ellzey
