I didn't create one, I just left it as is. For some reason fdisk would
error out and sysinstall's fdisk would compute bogus capacities: use the
number of sectors and multiply them by 512 instead of 4096--that scared
me to the point I didn't want to have fdisk write to the disk.

Next on my TODO list: learn about gpart.
