We already have such a template, but it says "on the first PRIMARY
partition". Would it be wrong to add this "primary" word to the
templates you added?

The word "primary" refers to a peculiarity of the PC-style MBR
partitioning scheme. I believe Pegasos uses a very different
partitioning scheme, so adding "primary" would be incorrect and
confusing.

Googling a bit more, it looks like [1] the Pegasos Open Firmware does
have some limited support for MS-DOS style MBR partitioning of the
boot disk. In this case, the boot partition can *only* be primary --
it doesn't understand extended or logical partitions.
So the question of whether "primary" is appropriate depends on whether
you are using Amiga style or MS-DOS style partitioning.
