[PATCH] Add specific recipes for GPT partitioning on sparc/sparc64
The following patch will add d-i/partman-auto recipes for sparc/sparc64
on sun4u and sun4v based systems with GPT support.
They are based on the default recipes (below ./recipes) and the recipes
for sparc (below ./recipes-sparc).
In contrast to the default of a 1 MB sized BIOS_GRUB partition after
1 MB of empty space from the beginning of the device these use a 10 MB
sized partition. Eric mentions a slightly smaller size on [1] though I
actually don't know what minimum space is needed there.
[1]: https://github.com/esnowberg/grub2-sparc/wiki
An alternative would be to just include the:
```
10 10 10 free
$iflabel{ gpt }
$reusemethod{ }
method{ biosgrub } .
```
...part on top of the recipes for sparc - if the assumption is correct
that "$iflabel{ gpt }" line will only make this part effective on GPT
partitioned disks.
The patch to d-i/grub-installer follows.
Cheers,
Frank
