I wanted to install a Debian system on RAID-10, on 4 disks.
Unfortunately, it seems that Debian installer only supports RAID0, RAID1 and
RAID5.
As RAID-10 is technically RAID-0 on top of RAID-1s, I tried such a scenario:
-----R0-----

R1 R1
| | | |
HDD1 HDD2 HDD3 HDD4
Unfortunately, Debian installer is also unable to create such a setup - it
seems that it can't create RAID devices on existing RAID devices (i.e.,
RAID-0 on RAID-1).
How can I set up RAID-10 (or RAID-0 on top of RAID-1) using the Debian
installer?

Seeing how RAID-10 is still experimental in the kernel, the installer will
probably not support it for awhile. I'd suggest you either install Debian
onto a single disk and then migrate the data to a raid10 or boot off of a
CD that has raid10 support in the kernel, create your raid and then
restore the data onto the raid10.
