I am trying to install a system that has 4 disks configured as 2 RAID1 
mirrors. One of these stores the OS and the other is intended to be a data
disk.
My problem is that the install from the DVD wants to put the boot loader 
on the data disk, and I don't see an option to change it to the disk 
containing the OS. If this happens, the system doesn't boot.

I have tried deleting the data disk from the list of bootable devices in 
the BIOS and I have tried flipping the order of the disks on the SATA 
controller. Neither of these things made a difference.
Is there any other solution besides unplugging the data disks altogether 
for the install and then bringing them up later?

Thanks
Eve
