I don't use parted myself, so I don't know if this is the output expected by si_prepareclient. Can someone else comment?
You could also try installing sfdisk, which SI seems to prefer when gathering disk information (at least on x86). Just try running si_prepareclient again after installing sfdisk and see if the error has disappeared. Anyway for the partition configuration you have sent, I believe that storing the partition sizes in percent may not be the best choice. There is (probably) no reason to scale the boot partition below or beyond the 107MB assigned on your golden client, correct? In this case it would be better to use the other method I described and manually edit the autoinstallscript.conf to change the size of the second partition to the special value "*". This way the boot partition will always have 107MB and the second partition will get the remaining space on the disk.
