Right. But you'll have to set it up later, because while you can
disklabel(8) an LFS partition, sysinst will tell you it cannot handle
it. And - more important - you have to be aware that there will be no
access to an LFS partition from a boot floppy/cdrom in case of
emergency.

Strange priorities in sysinst -- I'd choose LFS support (and commandline
editing, and localised keyboard mappings, if there is any room left on
the media) over eye candy like localised installer text any day.
