4.0 still uses FAT for the initial installation and then automatically
performs the conversion during a subsequent reboot.  For the record, FAT
supports up to 4GB partitions (using 64kB clusters).  DOS does NOT support 
he
64kB cluster, however, and I have no idea why.  Suffice it to say that you 
an
use a 4GB partition for the initial installation partition as long as you
either convert it to NTFS or don't try to access it from plain ol' DOS...
