The installer has 2 different steps to partitioning your disk.
At first ("Use (W)hole disk MBR, whole disk (G)PT or (E)dit?") it uses
fdisk(8) and after this step it will overwrites your partition table.
The next step ("Use (A)uto layout, (E)dit auto layout, or create (C)ustom
layout?") could not recover you partition table from previous step even by
pressing Ctrl+C.
