Hum... I think I always have seen the installer on "all in one partition (beginners)"? If you have selected this one, then, you should not have problems because of stuff not mounted.
I guess you're right that there was an option to have everything in one partition. Frankly, I don't remember what the installer menu in Squeeze looked like. But anyway, what's the meaning of "all in one partition (beginners)"? I wasn't a "beginner" at that time, so maybe I thought that this option doesn't apply to me. ;-)
A couple of years ago the advice given by most experts in newsgroups, Linux books etc. was to *not* put everything in one partition, and the installer definitely didn't recommend the opposite or even warn against it. And the partition sizes suggested by the installer were wrong.
