Bug#594184: debian-installer: activating bootflag on ext2/ext3 partition not possible
Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
With a daily build netinst cd from 23. August 2010, it is
impossible, to set the bootflag from Off to On.
I tested this on two different machines (x86, pc-compatible),
on an ext2 and an ext3 partition with msdos partition table
(don't know if other partition types or partition table types
behave different).
Switch the bootflag from On to Off works fine, but the other
way does not.
Deleting the complete setup by hand and setting up a new, clean
partition table gives the same result, it's impossible to create
a setup with a bootable partition included.
With a squeeze alpha1 businesscard cd, this all works fine.
