I wouldn't worry about this. If /, /usr, and /var are all on drive 0, go ahead with the install. You can deal with the other drive later. > FDisk seems to want to only deal with one disc at a time.

Your configuration really isn't a problem, but I believe sysinstall(8) would fall short if you wanted to put different parts of the base system on different drives (say / and /usr on one and /var on another). For a more complex, "unsupported install" like that, you would have to install on one disk and then reconfigure things once you have an installed system. -- Crist J.
