Install linux to degradated raid

Hello
I have a server with one hard disk, so, later I will add another one. Now I want to install RHES to degradated RAID 1, using anaconda kickstart. Later I will add one more hard drive and get fully redundant RAID 1. So, how to install RHES using kickstart to degradated raid?

This is a hardware question specific to your BIOS and RAID controller implementation?

Or are you attempting to do this with a software RAID implementation?

Regardless, it does not sound advisable, to me. What is the holdup on getting the second disk? Can't you just wait to have a stable disk array?

Alternately, you could install the OS to the single disk without RAID, backup the install, and migrate it once you get your second disk.
