Comments/Problems:
I install this laptop for second time. First time i use the macosx disk utility to reserve space for debian partitions and
macosx virtual memory partition.The install process was good terminated, no error, no problem.
For the second i tryed to use partman to reserve space for macosx.The install process stop in mount partitions process.
It can't mount the last partition, number 7, in /home.I searched error message in shell but didn't find it.
I know fo the first time,the partition table was different, ths users partition was 3 and not 7(that's not the only
partition which the number was different).
I indicate to partman to not use the macosx partitions,so the 6 partition is empty (and was not in the first).Maybe
it's this empty partition that's disturb the install process.
I'm going to try to partition my disk with partman,stop the debian install process, install macosx,and return in the debian
install process.
