Bug#767682: Bug still present in Stretch (testing) installer

[Jaime T <enopatch@gmail.com>]

Hi all. Just another "me too" - I've just been bitten by this bug
while trying to install testing (stretch) using the netboot install
method i.e.:

ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-i386/20150828/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux
and
ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-i386/20150828/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz

I was trying to install onto a partition which already contained a
previous debian (wheezy) installation and the installer hung while
trying to create the ext4 filesystem. I managed to get round the
problem by using dd to write zeros to the first 50MB of the
destination partition and then restarting the installation procedure.

HTH, Jaime
