Please avoid using "custom partitioning" expression for ESXi
Contrary to other OSes (windows, linux), ESXi doesn't have this customization granularity. You can only choose between a few predefined partitioning schemes (small, min, default or max)

@sbraz @ashmonger do we want to keep the "customer" word here ?

When I worked on #9022, I chose "customer rescue" on purpose. I think that was because it matched the description of the boot state on the control panel. I'd keep "customer". It's possible for customers (heh) to see their server is booted into a non-customer rescue (rescue-install, rescue-ftp) too, so the word "customer" doesn't seem redundant to me.
