Comments/Problems:
When I chose the "partition manually" option, it showed all the
partitions of /dev/hdc, but just a whole-disk entry for /dev/hde,
compaining that there was no partition table for that disk.
As shown above, both mac-fdisk and parted *do* see a partition table
for that disk -- though it is probably important that parted says
(twice -- why twice?)
"Error: The partition's data region doesn't occupy the entire
partition."
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and
ideas you had during the initial install.>
Is the d-i partition manager unable to distinguish which kinds of
parted important and which aren't?
I did not save the log files. If there is something that would be
helpful, I can do it again and post the log files.
Any clues would be appreciated!
