"Device" as in entry in /dev.

It's a little blurrier than that.  With no partitioning scheme, Create 
makes one, having the user select the type.  After that, it creates new 
partitions.

Having messed with this editor more, I can make it work and see the 
intent of the user interface.  I wish I could suggest a good way to make 
it more clear, but can't quite get my brain around it right now.
