Why would you want to do that?  I generally create my partitions like this:

disk 1

swap 1024mb
/boot 128mb
/  raid partition (all remaining space)


disk 2

swap 1024mb
/backupboot 128mb
/ raid partition  (all remaining space)

Then I either create a RAID 1 or RAID 0 (and sometimes even RAID 5) on 
the raid partitions depending on the level of redundancy/speed I want or 
need.  This can all be done easily with disk druid during setup of CentOS 4.

cheers,
