Hi,

I'll again note that it should be supported because a) there's no
technical reason not to and b) this is how every other OS works. But
I'll leave it at that, maybe the users won't mind.

But other than that, it might be that I just don't get the workflow
it's supposed to implement. Can you point out to me on these
screenshots: http://ivoras.imgur.com/freebsd_installer_2 (or on the
other set), what option on what screen (i.e. which screenshot) should
I choose to create bsdlabels?
