For what it's worth:

I have a similar configuration, (other disks though).

And I dont boot on a disk controlled by Promise, but I do have my /home
and /usr located on a raid-5 system controlled by Promise TX2.

I didn't do anything on the disks controlled by Promise during
installation, instead I installed a software RAID controller and started
to move various mounts to the RAID system.

wasn't, just because I'm one of those idiots that still think it's best
to try out without the manual first. :-)
