Bug#265001: installation-reports: [sparc] impossible to partition correctly and thus not possible to install

[Hendrik Sattler <sattler2000@gmx.de>]

Package: installation-reports
Version: snapshot_20040921
Followup-For: Bug #265001


Hi,

I have this problem, too, with a SparcStation20.
It is absolutely impossible to install.

I do not understand why the console does not even have the fdisk tool available, an absolute essential tool.
Please provide it in the shell. I do not really care for the built-in partitioner.

Right now, the installer is absolutely useless on sparc!

PS: Bug report not writen on that sparc since I cannot install ;-/
