Right - sysinstall doesn't know it.
I usually work around by having 200M /, >=1M swap and 500M /usr.
After installation I put the rest into vinum,  move /usr and /var onto
vinum volumes and resize swap to include the transition /usr.
Even if you don't move /usr and /var later - there is no need to create
a home, www or whatever partition within sysinstall.
