It's part of the normal, menu-driven, installation process; first you create 1 slice (primary partition) then you go through to the next stage where you carve the slice into partition. The second stage is called labelling, and there is a option to lay out the slice automatically. Even if you don't plan to use it you should do that to see what the default looks like.
