When I set up LVM on my server, I spanned a volume over 3 disks.  Once I
configured the drives as LVM, I noticed there was a seperate partition with
the mount point I specified in the LVM configuration tool.  It was at the
bottom of the list of partitions and I was able to select the filesystem that
way.

There are several different preset partitioning schemes available in addition
to the one that installs everything into /.  I personally like to partition
for a multi-user workstation.
