Ubiquity failed to mount /boot

Hello,

Can Ubiquity handle /boot being on a different partition than / ?

I have 3 hard disks, 2 of 120GiB and one of 200 GiB.
The first partition on each disk is 1 GiB, the rest is LVM.
It is my intention to configure RAID1 for sda1+sdb1+sdc1, but not now. Now
I only want to install /boot on sda1. When I try that, Ubiquity gives the
following error and sends me back to the partitioner:

"The attempt to mount a file system with type ext2 in (yadda yadda yadda)
at /boot failed"


This is the partition info that you'll probably want to know:
