Ok, this is perhaps pretty low priority to all of you (even to me), but
since I installed 2 new 5.1 systems this week I cursed sysinstall
several times!
First of all, the Partition Editor has the 'A' option to use all of the
available HDD space. It creates a DOS-compatible slice (starting at
sector 63 and ending on cylinder boundary). This is completely useless
on servers and the help menu says that sysinstall will ask if it should
create a DOS-compatible slice or not. However no such question is ever
asked.
Use "F" for "DD mode". This is different than "A" and will ask the
question you expected.
