No need for proprietary drivers. In the installer, you can configure
RAID when you get to the partitioning stage. This would use KERNEL
software raid, as opposed to on-CHIP software raid.

Doing it in the kernel this way (via the md driver) will give you 1)
better performance and 2) means you don't need proprietary drivers.
