Seeking Details on Manually Partitioning 1st of 2 4TB SSDs to boot Qubes 4.2.4

Trying to install latest Qubes 4.2.4 to a Qubes-Certified laptop (NovaCustom V56) running HEADS firmware that has TWO 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs (Samsung 990 Pros) installed.

Previous forum posts recommended I re-install Qubes and said I’d probably now need to manually configure both my drives in the BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING (or other) tool as the automatic partitioning option of the Qubes installer has become problematic.

I’m familiar with partitioning drives but I’ve found no detailed online instructions for how to manually partition a computer with multiple SSDs.

Is there a table somewhere showing ALL the required partitions, their specific names, mountpoints, filesystem types, etc. that I can use with either BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING or the CUSTOM Storage Configuration options of the Qubes 4.2.4 installer.

You know, I’ve had quite a bit of luck just asking AI. GPT and Gemini are both really good at answering even highly technical questions–even obscure questions about Qubes.

It would be nice if the installer would tell you the default amount for everything; maybe you just want to change one thing, it requires that you know all of the rest as well.
