Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation and workaround! I gave it a try and can confirm that when the installer USB stick is mounted at /cdrom, and there are no other disks, the "Partition disks" step no longer has Guided or Manual options and no disks are shown. If I attach a second USB stick, the Guided and Manual options reappear and only the disk for the second USB stick is shown. That seems perfect to me. Thanks again, Kevin
