Determine the mount point

The last step is to select a mount point for the new RAID partition.

Type the directory name where this partition will be located into the entry box beginning with a /. Enter only a / for the main root partition.

Once the mount point is entered the main partition screen will be displayed.

A /boot partition will automatically be created on /dev/md0, the first Software RAID partition. The size will be 30MB and it will use the drive configuration that was selected for the partition that was just created. In the partition list, below the /boot partition, the partition that was just created will be displayed.
