Hi!
If you look at the actual input to sfdisk, it's clear, that the boot
option fixes the problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:..fai/fai-3.1.8> cat ../364763
disk_config sda
primary /boot 50-100 rw ; -c -j ext2
primary / 1000- rw ; -j ext3
logical swap 100-999 rw
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:..fai/fai-3.1.8> verbose=1 bin/setup_harddisks -f ../364763
[...]
-[sfdisk input]---------------------------------------------------
# partition table of device: /dev/sda
unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 1, size= 208844, Id= 83
/dev/sda2 : start= 208845, size= 310327605, Id= 83, bootable
/dev/sda4 : start= 310536450, size= 2040255, Id= 5

A patch for showing the actual input used for sfdisk if verbose is set
is attached.
Hope that helps,
Jens.
