Fine, if there's no alternative. But you're ignoring the fact that there is. We get rid of the BIOS as soon as we can after the boot. Why stick with the disk layout? Remember, I'm not saying "let's implement dedicated disks", I'm saying "let's not throw out dedicated disks". Having said that, if this is just a mod to sysinstall, it's not such a big deal.
