No partitions were found in your system. You may need to partition your
hard drives or load additional kernel modules.
A few incorrect "note" tempaltes for errors are converted to error templates.

The short description is now shown before the choices...so adapt it to this.

When a partition is mounted, it is available to the users of the system.
You always need a root ("/") partition, and it's often good to have a
separate partition for /home.

A bit more explicit.

1) Avoid showing "WARNING...." first in the template
2) Well, as you may know, I'm not in favour of yelling even for warning users.

Separated the "Please..." from the rest of the paragraph. Thus, this will
have to be translated only once..:-)
I have used the same formulation than other packages.....I think "tty3" is
mostly jargon...
