Repartition first; if it's a hardware RAID, then in the firmware setup you
should be able to break off part, and then make two partions: one of about
250M or so, for /boot, and the rest, larger, for the rest. Once you've
done that, and the BIOS sees the partitions, you should be able to
install.
I have a much longer discussion at <http://24.5-cent.us/>, in the article
"Upgrading Linux" that I published a few years back.
