Not unique at all; Slackware was installable to a UMSDOS partition in the same way back in the mid nineties. That's how a lot of us got started since you could get your feet wet without destroying your DOS/Windows partition.
The performance was abysmal though, and this was apparent as soon as you got brave enough to partition your hard drive (or add a secondary drive) to install to ext2 native.
