The fdisk implementation is easy. Just answer 'yes' to 'Do you want to use the hwole disk?' and you don't even have to look at it. And, if you want to create multiple partitions, it isn't hard to figure out. That is, if you already understand the concepts (the same ones that you may have worked with using fdisk under DOS.) The disklabel implementation is somewhat tedious, until you know some of the shortcuts documented through examples in the install faq (faq4) > Which you apparently have, so congratulations;).
