I wouldn't have chosen the automatic partitioning option if I cared
where partitions lived, the stupid part was not using all the space.
The times I have tried to force locations by drives I wanted to
build RAID1 mirrors and it still screwed it up by rearranging the
partitions so they didn't match up unless I nailed down the
order by a manual fdisk first.
