after partman done:

1    0.016   8.000  primary          prep-boot

then rm 1
mkpart primary ext2 0 8
set 1 prep-boot on
print

1   0.016  8.000 primary prep-boot (just the same)

then rm 1
mkpart primary ext2 0 6
set 1 prep-boot on
print

1   0.016  6.000 primary    prep-boot

seems to work fine......
