10.04.1 LTS install with RAID support?

[Steve Malenfant]

I've searched, I've tried and I failed.

How can you install Ubuntu Desktop with 2 drives in RAID-1 using soft RAID?
I also want my machine to boot if 1 of the drive fails.

Seems like during the install I can't select a RAID partition. mdadm is not
included by default and the alternate version doesn't boot via USB stick.

Anybody got good pointers? Seems like there is a lot of information, but I
can't achieve to find the proper solution.

Here is what I'm trying to achieve (about) :
sda1 -> /boot
sda2 -> swap
sda3 -> /

sdb1 -> /boot
sdb2 -> swap
sdb3 -> /

md0 -> /boot
md1 -> /

I've done this in Centos without a hitch before, but really want to move to
something like Ubuntu since that new machine needs the newer kernel to work.

I guess I'll have to get a special CD to make the partition, install the OS
and then setup RAID? That seems all backward to me.
