In my case, I don't have partitions created on the disks, I wanted to do
this using kickstart.
I've done another test on a machine without hardware RAID (my first tests
were done on a machine 
with a hardware RAID controller). I get a similar error: "Error mounting
device sda1 as /: No such
device. This most likely means that the partition has not been formatted."
