I would *not* try to use the intrepid release to install hardy. Even
though partman-auto-raid is not on the -server iso, it's available from
the archive. So a network installation should work correctly (ie don't
use the -server iso). In the early command you'd have to use wget to
download the partman-auto-raid udeb and install it with udpkg -i.

Here is a sample of an early_command that something similar:

d-i preseed/early_command string wget -O /tmp/keyring.udeb http://www.emdebian.org/d-i/emdebian-archive-keyring-udeb_1.4.3.1_all.udeb && udpkg -i /tmp/keyring.udeb
