This is not entirely true, you can always use a hook to setup the partitions 
"manually" with a small shell script (see the guide on more for this and have 
a look at http://www.layer-acht.org/fai/fai-on-powerpc/ there you'll find a 
partition.POWERPC hook)

FAI is an architecture "all" package, it's not existant as a alpha package :)


You're right though, that setup_harddisk is a bad hack. This is a known issue 
for long but so far, noone did the work to really fix this.
