I'll just keep shamelessly asking questions.  

I'm stuck on an install, where parted has the partition information all
messed up, and dies.  

Quesiton: Has anyone hand hacked the 'parted' portion of an install
scripts? Point me at a How-to?

Using Debian packages:
systemimager-boot-i386 3.2.3-6
systemimager-common 3.2.3-6  
systemimager-server 3.2.3-6

At first, parted finds the size of the drive:
        Gets 'Disk geometry for /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disk:
        0.000-239372.437 megabytes
        
Then it intelligently creates the first partition:
        Creating partition /dev/sda1
        parted -s -- /dev/sda mkpart primary ext2 0 78
        
>From then on it it has the wrong numbers, and goes wonky:
        Creating partition /dev/sda2
        parted -s -- /dev/sda mkpart primary exst2 239369 239370
        
           Warning: Unable too align partition properly. This probably
        means that some other partitioning toll
           generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't
        have the correct BIOS geometry. ...
        
        Creating partition /dev/sda3
        parted -s -- /dev/sda mkpart primary ext2 239371 239372
        
           Warning: Unable too align partition properly. This probably
        means that some other partitioning toll
           generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't
        have the correct BIOS geometry. ...
        
        Creating partition /dev/sda4
        parted -s -- /dev/sda mkpart extended 239372 239368
        
           Warning: Unable too align partition properly. This probably
        means that some other partitioning toll
           generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't
        have the correct BIOS geometry. ...
        
           Error: Can't have the end before the start!
             Killing off running processes.
