package: debian-installer
Version: Debian GNU/Linux installer 4.0 (installer build 20070308etch2)
severity: minor
I was wondering how to set a label on a partition (not a partition table, but a label that e2label could read). 

I couldn't see this documented in [1] so I wrote a patch, attached.
The statement about label{ } requiring method{ format } comes from
a comment in
  packages/partman/partman-ext3/active_partition/ext3/choices

Hopefully this is useful. If this is already documented somewhere,
please could you point me there.

I tested this usage with the 'etch' installer, on i386 (version noted
above). Worked For Me.

Cheers
Vince

+It is also possible to specify filesystem labels, for filesystems that
+support labels (e.g. ext2, ext3). For example, to specify a label of
+"fred" for a partition, add the following line for that partition:
+        label{ fred }
+Note that the partition must be one that will be reformatted during
+the installation, i.e. one for which you have specified
+        method{ format }
+
 Here is another example; this time there is a smaller root partition, and a
 separate /home partition.
