I haven't tried that, but it feasibly might work...
Do you mean right after booting off CD #1? alt-F2 does nothing F2 lists options like linux askmethod.

Nope, boot up normally.  Once you're at the welcome screen in the
installer, then you can press CLTR-ALT-F2 to drop to a console prompt.
Here you'll be able to set up a /boot partition, mkfs.ext3 it, tag the
remaining space as LVM and then use the lvm tool to create your volumes
and logical volumes and create the filesystems on top of them.
Oh, that is going to be a lot to read up on.
