I know it's been a month, but just in case Kevin or someone else
is still looking for the solution for this, I think the solution is to add
a "p" on the end of the device names. If I'm reading the
code correctly, this is due to what libfdisk/fsedit.c, in the anaconda
sources, does, near line 1400:
/* for RAID arrays of format c0d0p1 */
if (strstr(ptr + 4, "rd/") || strstr(ptr + 4, "ida/") || strstr(ptr
+ 4, "cciss/"))
strcat(hdarr[*numhd]->prefix, "p");

So, I _think_ the solution is to use, instead:
part / --size 250 --asprimary --ondisk ida/c0d0p
part /usr --size 3500 --ondisk ida/c0d0p
part swap --size 1500 --ondisk ida/c0d0p
part /var --size 300 --ondisk ida/c0d0p
part /tmp --size 200 --ondisk ida/c0d0p
Note that I haven't tested this, the usual caveats apply, etc.
