You can't. RAID devices are below the filesystem level, so you have to 
firstly create the RAID device, and then create a filesystem on top of it.

If memory serves me correctly, I seem to think that SuSE allows you to 
create RAID devices during installation, perhaps this would be a simpler 
route for you?

Good luck,

David.
