New template: partman check to make sure boot is ext2/3
I need a debconf prompt that can be used as a partman check to tell
users that their boot partition has to be either ext2 or ext3. This
is needed on the HP mv2120 and Kurobox Pro.
partman-ext2r0/boot_not_ext2r0 does something similar so based on this
template I suggest:
_Description: Go back to the menu and correct this problem?
Your boot partition has not been configured with the ext2 or ext3
file system. This is needed by your machine in order to boot. Please go
back and use either the ext2 or ext3 file system.
.
If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct this error,
the partition will be used as is. This means that you may not be able
to boot from your hard disk.
I don't really like the word "boot partition" in here because users might
think of /boot - this txt is shown if there's a /boot but if /boot doesn't
exist it will check the root partition. But maybe it's obvious to users
that the root partition is the boot partition when there's no /boot.
Any comments? This is basically partman-ext2r0/boot_not_ext2r0 with "old
ext2 (revision 0)" changed to "ext2 or ext3".
