Er, "useless" how? If partman sees the drive, it should also be able to see the partitions (since this is all done through the kernel /dev tree, as exposed by devfs). If it can see the partitions, it should be able to configure appropriate mount points for the installer. Where does the uselessness ensue? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
