Is there an option for "just use the disk", instead of Fedora trying to 
be clever about recognising that it's found BIOS level hardware RAID?

I've installed Debian on a fair number of Dell servers, all of which 
(bar a couple) have had hardware RAID. The resulting virtualised disk(s) 
have been seen by the kernel and presented simply as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, 
etc. Additional tools from Dell allow monitoring of the slices within 
the RAID array, but to the remainder of the OS each is just "a (big) disk".
