Bug#284082: Incomplete entry in the errata of rc2

[Anton Zinoviev <anton@lml.bas.bg>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: critical

Merit for the severity: may cause serious data loss.

The current text in the errata is:

  * LVM failure on Sparc32 (at least). If you want to create LVM volume
  groups, the physical volumes must not reside at the beginning of the
  disk, or else activating new logical volumes within the volume group
  will fail. This is due to some unforeseen quirks in Sun disk labels.

This failure happened because the the sun disk label resides at the
beginning of the disk and the first partition may start from the
beginning of the disk.  Hence the partition table becomes part of the
first partition. Most file systems are smart enough not to write data at
the beginning of their place but this is not the case with the phisical
volumes for LVM or RAID and not the case with the swap spaces.

The users MAY NOT create swap spaces or partitions for LVM and RAID at
the beginning of the disk or the partition table will be subsequently
completely erased.
