Any form of install to a previously-existing partition, container or 
anything along those lines is out of scope at Alpha. Alpha's storage-
ish requirements are, intentionally, quite minimal:

"The installer must be able to complete an installation to a single 
disk using automatic partitioning.

"Details! [hide]

...well, so long as the disk is big enough, of course. It must work 
whether the disk is formatted or not and whether or not it contains 
any existing data - but since this is an Alpha, it's OK if it can only 
install to a disk with existing data by overwriting it."

i.e., so long as you can successfully install to a single disk on the 
guided 'wipe all data on the selected disk' path, Alpha is good.

The requirements tighten up quite a lot at Beta.
