Actually, it's in Installer 3.0 (sys6.0.4/6.0.5)

From what I could see, all you are really choosing is what cursor
the Installer uses as a 'busy' cursor while installing your system software.
It looked like a 'feature' of the Installer, and not of the System Software.
(i.e. you won't see any funky wait cursors normally, no matter what you
choose here)
