Um, it looks to me that this is already done -- see baseconfig.c, line 83. However, if you look at partition_config.c line 128, you will see that it will call /sbin/cfdisk if NAME_ISEXE. And if I recall, on APU, cfdisk doesn't work (but on other powerpc arches, it does). Ok... so really the problem is that the root disk for apus (it doees have its own rootdisk, right) should *not* have /sbin/cfdisk. You'll have to hack roodisk.sh, say line 525, and if we're making an apus rootdisk, then remove $R/sbin/cfdisk.
