oh, sorry, this is a terrible advice :-/
Looking at install.pl, this will still clear the partition table!

I will try again:


You can switch on the last menu where you can edit unattend.txt & co
while you have youre  fdisk_cmds in unattend.txt.
(set the edit_files = 1 in unattend.txt)
Sanity-check the partition table from console 2 (alt-f2) with:
parted -s /dev/dsk

Witch partition have the boot flag?


For further debugging you can do something like this:

comment out the fdisk_cmds="xxxxx" line in unattend.txt
This will cause install.pl to show you the fdisk menu.

When the fdisk menu is on screen, switch to another console with alt-f2,
then run the parted commands manually: 

parted -s /dev/dsk rm 1
parted -s /dev/dsk mkpartfs primary fat32 4200 
parted -s /dev/dsk set 1 boot on

sanity check with: parted -s /dev/dsk 

go back to the menu with alt-f1 and choose do nothing.

I hope you got the idea ..
so we can see where it goes wrong.
I do not have a PC to test on right now
