Humour it? :-)

If sysinstall wants a root partition on the drive, then give it one
(it won't really be a root partition unless you go on and complete the
installation, so it's a harmless piece of deception...)

BTW could you try and press the return key every 70-72 characters?
Your message arrived as a single long line, which is difficult to read
