Bug#262043: cdimage.debian.org: I am using the daily sarge iso images to create a local mirror. Instalation fails attempting to partition a disk

[Steve Glines <sglines@is-cs.com>]

Gee ya think? By the way with today's install images from joeh I can't
even load from a "real" mirror. I get stuck at "starting the
partitioner" 55% - it goes no further than that.
