specifying virtio block device as root filesystem for Debin S390X install?



Folks:

 

Is it possible to specify a virtio block device as a root filesystem within the Debian s390x installer?   I specified a virtio disk for qemu-system-s390x, and through some miracle was able to get the virtio  networking up and running via the latest debian s390x kernel/initrd, and had no issues up until the disk partitioner.  The partitioner was able to see the disk (/dev/vda) and allows partitions to be created (vda1/2/etc), but it does not allow it to be used.  The partition disks section only allows the option of swap space, physical volume for encryption, and "do not use".
