Remember this is sysinst trying not to let you shoot yourself in the
foot too easily.  This particular menu is there to make life easy.

That menu won't let you set the filesystem type, just sizes and mountpoints.
So the the question about other mfs filesystems is moot.

sysinst would need some slight tweaks to allow other mfs filesystems
