I was kind of surprised at this requirement myself, but what is interesting is this: During installation you MUST create a 10G "/" partition. It isn't possible to create a 10G "/PCBSD", and then set the remaining partitions up as you would a "typical" FreeBSD system.
Discovered this in the RC and thought it was odd. Granted, earlier releases would let you shoot yourself in the foot by creating too small "/" partition, but I think the partitioning wizard is a bit too restrictive IMHO.
