 From what I've seen, this can be done through initrd/mkinitrd some how, 
but I apparently don't know the magic well enough to make it happen. As 
I already stated, it was working under F8 and F9, with no entries for 
the /dev/mapper/ device in /etc/fstab , and currently with the 
appropriate device in fstab, the dmraid functionality is not getting 
enabled resulting in the individual partition members of the raid 
getting mounted automatically and magically by F10.
