There is nothing magic about a KVM guest. It doesn't inherit anything
other than fake hardware from the host. Knowing that, I think your
question could be reworded in the following way.
Can I make a format a jfs partition on SL 6.1 during the install or do I
have to wait until after the install?
The answer is, using normal SL 6.1, you will have to wait until after
the install.
