Yes, I've done this one before. I don't think it's any more complicated than
going through the regular Redhat setup process. When you are allowed to partition
your disk(s), do so creating the partitions on the different disks to the sizes
that you like, and make them of type "Linux Native." Later in the install process,
before it actually unleashes RPMS onto your system, it will allow you to place
different branches under the root directory on different partitions. And it doesn't
really care if the
filesystems are on different disks. After the installation, when it reboots and you're
running normally, as long as your /etc/fstab is created properly by the Redhat setup
(and it will be), you won't have to do any mounting of filesystems other than what is
done automatically upon booting. Then everything is smooth sailing, just like one big
happy filesystem!
