No warning, either.
Are you sure about this one?
I have never expected that any installer would be able to create or delete
hardware (a hard disk) in my computer.
"Device" as in entry in /dev.
It's a little blurrier than that. With no partitioning scheme, Create
makes one, having the user select the type. After that, it creates new
partitions.
Having messed with this editor more, I can make it work and see the
intent of the user interface. I wish I could suggest a good way to make
it more clear, but can't quite get my brain around it right now.
