I think that is an implementation thing, and thus up to you.

I attached two 500GB drives to mine (one on a usb hub).  Format and/or 
partition the drives as you might desire on a different machine first. 
(Otherwise it might hang being out of memory.)  Obviously it will need 
somewhere to install root, but during the install you can simple choose 
to use the existing partitions rather than reformat them.  (i.e. 
manually partitioning, not guided.)   (Apologies to the rest of council 
who won't understand this...google for "NSLU2 Debian" if you are 
interested.)
