Bug Description

I was installing to a raid-1 array, that I'd set up in a Live CD session, which utilised several partitions on the internal HDD of my HP laptop, and mirrored partitions on an external usb HDD (WD My Passport, 1TB).

I asked the instaler to install the bootloader to /dev/md0 - where my /boot partition had been created (500MB)

I was following / trying to follow the partitioning scheme described at https://wiki.debian.org/Multi%20HDD/SSD%20Partition%20Scheme, with the exception that I was going to add the SSD later (When it gets delivered) if possible. Other wise I'd go through it again.
