Let's not forget he was wanting an XFS /boot and / (and so using a LiveCD was suggested to do the format and partition in advance of the installer). Then there was a desire to do it all within the installer, so it was suggested you could just copy mkfs.xfs into the installer and do it by hand in the shell. jh
