Bug#59312: boot-floppies: dbootstrap aborts when using raid partitions

[Lee Maguire <lee-debian@hexkey.co.uk>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.7-2000-02-13

I've been attempting to use the "frozen" install disks to install
Debian on a machine that uses a Mylex RAID controller.

Since the stock boot disk didn't support the necessary hardware
I compiled a custom kernel and created a new boot disk - still
using the normal root.bin.

It boots fine and dboostrap starts up, lets me select my keyboard
and moves to the disk partiioning selection.  cfdisk works fine
repartitioning the disk.  However when returning to dbootstrap it
aborts with the following message:

dbootstrap: fdisk.c:544 : fdisk_add_partition: Assertion
'partition->name' failed.  Aborted

Then restarts dbootstrap - which aborts with the same message  and
restarts...

This happens every time dbootstrap checks the disks and finds linux
partitions.  If I flip out to a console I can quite happily mount/umount
the raid disks (eg mount /dev/rd/c0d0p1 /target) and whatever.

If I wipe the disk and start dbootstrap again it lets me select
keyboard and re-partition but then fails again.

Any ideas?
