Bug Description
The historical way of installing with hardware redundancy is to create a mirrored root volume, using mdraid.
This is no longer possible. There are several issues:
1. Randomly the 'Done' button will not go white, even if the configuration is correct
2. There is a 'magic' gpt partition created on the first drive you select, which is required for grub
3. If you remove that, to try to make grub install the old way, curtis crashes with an error from grub-install saying that it can only install using blocklist
4. No partition is set active
This makes it impossible to actually install 19.10 in a redundant manner, that can survive a hard drive failure.

After discovering other issues that made the live installer not functional (See https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ livecd- rootfs/ +bug/1847835) I gave up and went back to the NON Live ISO, which let me create a mirrored root as expected.
