Did that.

Did that also.

"Unknown" I had never clicked on that so that was a stumbling point for me.

For whatever reason Device Type is not accepting entry?

All of that looks ok except "Device Type" is always grayed out and I 
never get to select raid. I made /boot ext2 and the others ext4 and 
/dev/sda seems happy with that but no matter what I do entries to 
/dev/sdb are not accepted, and as I say I can't select raid and raid 1.

I set the disks up with fdisk but have not created any files on the 
assumption that the installer should do that, perhaps I am wrong?
