Here is some more info on this bug.

I select 'Partition a Hard Disk' and do the following:
hdb1    swap    128 MB
hdb2    linux   1712 MB
(hdb3   BSD/386 8413 MB)

Then I select 'Initialize a Linux partition'
My choice is hdb2, I initialize it and mount it as /.

Then I select 'Partition a Hard Disk' and do the following:
hdb1    swap    128 MB
hdb2    linux   800 MB
hdb4    linux   912 MB
(hdb3   BSD/386 8413 MB)


I get a dialog box:
root file system changed unexpectedly from /dev/hdb2 to .

and I see an error from libfdisk as well in the log:
no device name for disk /dev/hdb partition 4 (skipped)

Then I select 'Initialize a Linux partition'
My choice is  hdb2

If I initialize hdb2 again and then return to 'Initialize a Linux
partition'  I still see only hdb2, and I get the same 'skipped'
message from libfdisk.

I've looked through libfdisk and nothing interesting has jumped out at
me as to why hdb4 is being skipped.
