Aye.  It's annoying that the text mode installer can't manipulate 
partitioning at all -- they lost that when they made the installer 
"better".  If it weren't for that I'd never use the graphical installer.

Similarly, switch to VT 2 (Alt+Ctrl+F2) just before going into the 
partitioner and do whatever you like with fdisk (etc) then switch back 
to the graphical installer and upon entry the first time rescan the 
drive(s).
