On an unpartitioned disk it chooses where the partition goes. If there

is best for creating them. So what you thought was hda2 may actually
become hdb3, etc.
It's very easy to uncheck the disks where you don't want a given partition
to end up. Or to force it to be a primary partition.
It's also very easy to press ctrl-alt-f2 and get a shell; if that's not
working, there's an X bug or something.
Or PEBCAK.
