Bug#250453: Partman is confused about the swap partition on sparc32
Package: partman
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've run into a problem when testing the May 21st sarge-d_i CDs [0] on
a sparc32 machine. I have a 4.2 GB hard drive [1], which I divided into a
big 4.0 GB partition for root and intended to use the rest as the swap.
However, when I choose the option to use the second partition as a swap
area, partman gets confused and still displays prompts for mount point,
mount options and bootable flag! [2]. If I leave it like that, and choose
to continue the installation, I receive an error message that the attempt
to mount partition #2 has failed [3]. The problem does not seem to be
present if more than two partitions (like /, /home and swap) are created.
