Ronny added some newworld recipes today (thanks!), so I selected automatic
partitioning, but then ended up in partman again. But we got one step
further: the debian-edu partitioning profiles were there, and I choose the
workstation layout. (I selected workstation and standalone as install types
before.)
The installation then went fine, but in the end it says again "no boot
loader installed" :(
Trying main-server profile now...
Which does autopartitioning, yay!
But it fails :-/ "failed to partition: this probably failed because there are
too many (primary) partitions in the partition table."
I dont really understand this, because
grep primary lib/partman/recipes-powerpc-powermac_newworld/90edumain |wc -l

Also, why does autopartitioning not happen if I choose "workstation" and
"standalone"? Is that the same on i386?
A little thinking goes a long way. The automatic_partitioning()
function in debian-edu-profile contains lines like this.
db_set "partman-auto/expert_recipe_file" /lib/partman/recipes/90edumain
basicaly they hardcode the recipe preseed with the filename based on the
profile chosen.
i guess we need something like
db_set "partman-auto/expert_recipe_file"
/lib/partman/recipes$arch$subarch/90edumain
where $arch = "-powerpc" and $subarch= "-powermac_newworld" if running
in such a system.
so if you use partman manually eg with expert mode you should see the
recipes and be able to choose them, and have them work.
but when preseeded the i386 recipes are used.
