Hmm, I just installed 9.0 a few days ago, on two machines, and each with a separate /root partition. Seemed to work fine. (In both cases, the /root partition is (1) a primary partition, and (2) physically before the / partition (i.e., /root has a lower hda "number").)
Am I misunderstanding the question, or ?
