fixed in master:

    - fixed bios partition type setup:
      * upstream parted supports 'set partition flag state' whereas
        flag can't be a hex id as we need it when setting e.g a
        fat partition type. Thus we use the suse extension as fallback
        which allows to set: 'set partition type hexid'

sorry but I think that would be the wrong way. at the moment the
partition layout for arm images always uses a boot partition if the
uboot loader is used. The user can influence the filesystem there
but not that a boot partition will be used if uboot is selected.
I think this is something we might want to change in the future.
imho it would be nice to be able to state if one wants a boot
partition or not. This in contrast will increase the room for
further problems due to the partition layout

Regards,
Marcus
