 When creating a BFS partition it's not immediately obvious that it won't
 be formatted to BFS. Installer will complain about such partition even
 though they will be labelled as (Be File System) adding even more
 confusion.

 Adding "Format to BFS" checkbox (enabled by default) to this dialog could
 avoid the confusion:

 Installer should also mark unformatted partitions somehow.
