Hmm, I found the auto partitioning method will simply create /dev/sda1 as / (Linux Native - type 83), /dev/sda2 as Linux Swap (type 82), and /dev/sda3 as Whole Disk and I'm unsure of the type right now. I don't particularily care for a single root partition to hold /usr, /var, and /home... evil. I ended up partitioning manually making /dev/sda3 first to use the Whole Disk. Then I made /dev/sda1 as /, /dev/sda2 and Linux Swap, /dev/sda5 as /usr, /dev/sda6 as /var, and /dev/sda7 as /home. You don't necessarily define them as /, /usr, /var, and /home at this point... that's done when you Initialize the partitions... after partitioning. Hopefully someday someone will file a wish-list bug report to have a more robust auto partitioning scheme. Good luck.
