if I remember correctly, you need to have AT LEAST /sbin on your root
partition, because that has the main tools in it that linux needs to use
to be able to do what it needs to do. example: mount things.
if you mount /sbin on a different partition, then how's it gonna get
mounted?
leave it where it is. the installer knows what it's doing by rejecting
this!
