Hi Ben, You are right, we don't have the ability to customize the disk slice layout in SXDE. This was intentional to provide as few clicks as possible for installing Solaris. SXDE is aimed at the beginner developer, new to developing on Solaris.
This code, that is the SXDE GUI, is the same that is used in Indiana. We don't allow for customization of disk layout, other than fdisk partitions, with this either. Again the simplification of this was intended. We use ZFS root with Indiana so customization of disk layout is somewhat less important. Since the root pool contains the necessary filesystems and all are shared space in the pool. however, my suggestion would be to file an rfe via bugzilla if you would like to see more customization allowed with regard to disk layout.
