No, I'm talking about the actual Base Install step on the menu, towards the end.

No, on both counts. But you have to make sure you give it the correct name in
mac-fdisk.

Hmmm. here's what's in the install manual:
<![ %mac-fdisk.txt [
<p>
See the <url id="mac-fdisk.txt" name="mac-fdisk manual page"> for
information on how to create partitions. One key point, is that the
swap partition is identified on Mac type disks by its name; it must be
named `swap'. Please read the fine manual. We also suggest reading the
<url id="&url-mac-fdisk-tutorial;" name="mac-fdisk Tutorial">, which
includes steps you should take if you are sharing your disk with
MacOS. ]]>
And, as it mentions, it's also covered in the mac-fdisk manual.
