Huge Partition

[Martin Stone]

Hey Bill,

I was able to partition larger than 1TB with almost identical setup.  But not 
from anaconda.  Maybe you have the same problem?  I thought FC1 couldn't deal 
with it initially, but it turned out that if I waited till after the install it 
was fine.  Also I was able to do it from the rescue disk.  So I figure it's 
anaconda's problem...

Cheers,
Martin
