You'll need the "custom install" menu item. You can go in and
partition any of your disks. You can then label each of them and
create swap and/or filesystems on each.

In your config screen (just after boot-up), you can "TAB" down
to the disabled drivers and find your psm0 device (in the
"Input" section). Press return on it and it'll jump up to the
enabled devices section.
