Assuming you want normal software raid and not the dmraid, then you should
turn off raid for those devices in the bios. It might be a later step in
the boot process if its an addon card that has its own bios. That should
allow anaconda to see them as two separate disks. You'll need a /boot
partition that can be raid 1, but can't use encryption or lvm, and the
rest you do however you want.
