Some parts work, others don't.
The partitioner wants to partition a extended partition. That is not
possible on s/390
When I partition it from hand, the partitioner is not able to write the
partitiontable to disk.

At least now the partitioner can read the disk and does not complain
about wrong blocksizes and reports the correct disk-layout.


I cannot test it further right now, because the d-i SVN is not available.
