Wait - are all of those individual partitions? If the installer somehow doesn't show those under "Custom Partition", it's a bug.
Well, than it has been a bug forever, because i do not know any different. I complained about this many times, nobody told me it had to be otherwise.
It tells me what filesystem, and the size and number of these partitions: /dev/sda, dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, dev/sda5, etc up to 13, at this time, name/number of the harddisk, those things, but not the custom name. It says something, which i don't remember now, because it doesn't make any sense anyway..
Ah - what you call "the custom name" is the mount-point, which is configured in /etc/fstab.
If I open the partitioner on a running system, I get all partitions and mounted disks shown, including mount points.
On a system you're about to install, there is no /etc/fstab, so YaST cannot tell where the various partitions should be mounted.
YaST can do this for you: In the "Expert Partitioner" use the "Expert..." button and then the entry "Import Mount Points from existing /etc/fstab".
In openSUSE 11.1 this will be at a more prominent position.
