Your proposal like cmurf's involves us auto-creating the BIOS

problem, the one I pointed out to cmurf - it's not actually all that
easy to have custom part just magically do stuff for you, and it
certainly makes the code paths more fragile, and we really don't need
any more fragility in partitioning.
Thinking about this a bit more, it probably wouldn't be *too* hard /
complex / dangerous to at least pre-populate custom part with the
appropriate 'special' partitions for your disk: i.e. run a restricted
version of autopart automatically when entering the custom part spoke,
which doesn't create the /boot and swap and / partitions, but just any
partitions required for booting or other special circumstances. I'll add
a comment to cmurf's bug...
