Bug#261306: Partitioning problem on alpha



Thus spake Steve Langasek:

Sure, here's what I have (after re-doing the last 3 partitions due to
the issue mentioned below),

5 partitions:
#       start       end      size     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:        1      1954      1954       ext2
  b:     1955    197267    195313       ext2
  c:   197268   1197268   1000001       swap
  d:  1197269  58648575  57451307       ext2

Regarding the yaboot complaint that I mentioned in another message, I
discovered that simply ignoring the warning and continuing allowed the
installation to complete (and yaboot was installed properly after all).

So, given that, I attempted to just ignore the aboot warning and
continue, but then I was given a warning that aboot required /boot to be
on an ext2 partition (the automatic partitioning had made / ext3).  I
went back into the partitioner, created a separate /boot (since I didn't
want to make my root ext2), and after that I got no further complaints
about aboot and the partitions.

Unfortunately, it later errored out attempting to install the kernel
image package - I'll submit a separate report for that, since it's not
realted to this issue.
