I posted the same request 2 weeks ago and received no reply, I'm a little bit disapointed since the core team seem to be very good at replying everything else. Anyhow I tried this and it seem to work (not perfect... anybody has better idea please let me know). I use the boot up floppy to partition both disks at the same time. Before I go ahead with the installation I write this partition in the drives (using the W option during the partition process). After that I try to escape out of the installation. Since the partition information was writen onto the disk already I was able to boot up again with the partition already set, then I mount therse partion. Lengthy get around, yes, but with no help from the core team that seem the only thing I could do. Hope this helps !
