For once I have to agree with Alexei ;-) Why on Earth would you want a / partition of over 2TB ? Keep your O/S and data SEPARATE.
Look at the hack you've had to do to get the O/S installed in this situation. Now ask yourself this: What are you going to so when SLES10 SP2 is released ? You'll bitch that it'll break your hacked installation. What about when SLES11 comes out ? How will you upgrade ?
I'm the last person to say "You should only do what the official installer tells you to do" (Hell, I even build servers without swap - and the installer don't like that !) but what you're doing is plain madness. It *will* end in tears.
DON'T DO IT !!!
