To fix this, do the following:

Accept the default for all questions asked, but when it asks you the
location of /etc/system, specify /dev/null

You should then boot into single-user mode. edit /etc/system and remove
all md-related lines. especially make sure that the rootdev line is
commented out or removed. save and reboot.

The server should then come up fine.
