Version: 0.0.5
Processor: ia64
Machine: HP rx2600 server
The postinst script fails leaving the installation unbootable.
This affects both netinst and bizcard installs.
In addition, the efi bootable partition discovery and selection
does not find a valid partition.
Patch set follows in attachment. This patch fixes the following:
1. The script runs without sh scripting errors.
2. Correctly finds and displays all partition candidates.
3. the title is correctly displayed.
4. the "no partition found" error message in the template
now recommends a partition size.
5. Removes dependency on executables in /target filesystem.
Note:
this install script depends on 2.4 devfs which will be deprecated
in 2.6.
