Comments/Problems:
Everything went flawless.
One possible enhancement: IBM Thinkpads do not have an installation CD for
the included copy of Microsoft Windows; instead they ship a hidden partition
with a recovery image. dmesg outputs this as a "Host Protected Area". It would
ne nice if the installer could offer to use this space as well (it's a waste
of 3.5 GBs). I haven't investigated yet how this could be done with parted
or similar tools.

X-Spam-Level:
The kernel detects the host protected partition and exports the reduced
diskimage size to userland tools like parted. I haven't found a way to
circumvent this.
The recreation of the pre-installed bootimage from the rescue partition
can only be triggered from the BIOS, so there's no need for a boot option
or similar measures. Therefore I'm closing the bug.
Cheers,
Moritz
