Public bug reported: Binary package hint: partman
the edgy preseed example says # Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can # be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format. # For example, to use the first disk devfs knows of: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc but that causes this dialog: http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/temp/Oct11/a/edgypart.png which basicaly says: <ocr> Partition disks This installer can guide you through partitioning a disk for use by Ubuntu, or if you prefer, you can do it manually. If you do choose to use the guided partitioning tool, you will still haue a chance later to reuiew and customise the results. Partitioning method : Erase entire disk and use LVM: IDE1 master (hda) - 4.O GB VMware Manually edit partition table </ocr> however, if I use d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/hda It just does it. ** Affects: partman (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- preseed devfs notation doesn't work as advertised https://launchpad.net/bugs/65493 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
