How about we do this:

mkpart -s /dev/<disk> mklabel msdos
mkpart -s /dev/<disk> primary 0% <rootsize>MiB
mkpart -s /dev/<disk> <rootsize>MiB <varlogsize>MiB


For cylinder alignment:

mkpart -s /dev/<disk> mklabel msdos
mkpart -a cylinder -s /dev/<disk> primary 0% <rootsize>MiB
mkpart -a cylinder -s /dev/<disk> <rootsize>MiB <varlogsize>MiB


And add something like aligncylinder as installer option?
