Actually, I didn't. The "install" process did. I didn't see any other
options presented and from the install log :

Available disks are: sd0 sd1.
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details) [sd0]

So I guess I needed to pick "custom layout" or ?

funny that is what the "install" process did.

Well that makes more sense because this mess makes none :
# fdisk -e sd0
Enter 'help' for information

I think I will need to net boot the machine and then wipe the disk with
zeros or patterns of 10101010 and 01010101 bits before I try again.
