When I go to install Fedora 20, it sees the free space (about 800GB) on<br>
sdb, but insists on installing the first partition I create for it<br>
(root) on /dev/sdb3. It doesn't appear that this works as the install<br>

the install the option for the first Fedora partition to be /dev/sdb9<br>
instead (and proceed from there).<br>

Am I missing something? Is this possible?<br>

Thanks.<br>
