With OpenSUSE you can just switch to the second console at that point of
the install and do the partitioning & RAID setup there (you can in text
mode anyway, I've not used the graphical installer), then you just need
to tell the installer to rescan the partition table and it'll pick up
the new details.
I'm pretty sure CentOS doesn't offer multiple consoles during the
install so a SystemRescueCD/LiveCD will be needed there. I've never
used Ubuntu so I've no idea what it offers.
