will result in
1) sda3 - biosboot
2) sda1 - /

Yes this is mostly a cosmetical issue. I can understand why it has been done
this way. Still don't like 'out of order' partitioning. There's a workaround
to achieve 'ordered' partitions.
disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt
primary - 1M - -
primary / 200M ext3 rw,errors=panic
primary - 400M swap -
However you _must_ set the required flag manually after the partitioning has
been done and before grub is being installed.
Well this is not at all a "cosmetical issue" as far my problems are
concerned. So I have to ask which programm ist doing the paetitioning.
And why it is not possible to manage it with a personal decission,
wether to do automatic paritioning or do it manually.
I´d like do have all clients trying netboot and if there's no server
using their normal installation. And if there is a fai-server, making
it possible to do fai boot but no pationing or do it on the other side.
So, partitioning is not at all just a "cosmetical issue".
Sorry for dissenting :-)
