Fedora 9 Boot Problem

[Jack Lauman]

I tied setting up a software RAID1 during the install but I kept getting 
an error saying that there was an existing partition on the second disk.

I checked with fdisk /dev/sdb and found that there were no partitions 
that fdisk could see. I've never had this problem before.

Is there something that changed in the Fedora 9 install procedure where 
RAID setups are concerned?
