I always do an NFS install so I don't wait around and watch, but I
don't see any reason a RAID1 has to wait for the sync to complete
before using it - it doesn't when you build one by hand.

It should take about 15 seconds to sync /boot...  The thing that bothers
me more is that it doesn't know  enough to install grub on either
of the underlying drives, let alone both.
