I want to install Fedora 21 Server.
I have two "750G" drives, both formatted for raid, type "fd." boot 2G, /

that would be created by the installer?
Anyway, Raid is not being offered as an option.
Starting at the hub (main menu of installer):
1. Installation Destination
2. From list of "local standard disks" you need to select at least 2+
devices, i.e. they must have check marks
Did that.
3. Choose "I will configure partitioning', click Done which will take
you to Manual Partitioning
Did that also.
4. On the left hand side of the UI you'll see an Unknown section you
need to click on that to expose existing md block devices you created.
"Unknown" I had never clicked on that so that was a stumbling point for me.
You can either delete these and have the installer recreate them
itself, or fill in the blanks on the right. You need to set a
mountpoint for each, and a filesystem. Device Type will be RAID.
For whatever reason Device Type is not accepting entry?

All of that looks ok except "Device Type" is always grayed out and I
never get to select raid. I made /boot ext2 and the others ext4 and
/dev/sda seems happy with that but no matter what I do entries to
/dev/sdb are not accepted, and as I say I can't select raid and raid 1.
I set the disks up with fdisk but have not created any files on the
assumption that the installer should do that, perhaps I am wrong?
