partman should also set the bootable flag automatically if there's
none already.
Only on i386 I guess.
What if both the root and /boot partitions are logical and not primary? Parted (and partman) allow bootable logical partitions but I have no idea whether bootable logical partitions are usefull for anything.
Most boot managers don't requre bootable partitions for anything.
In my environment only Darwin uses the bootable flag, and atm I can't boot darwin at all on my dual-boot system.
OS/2 can boot from a logical partition: what the OS/2 bootmananger does with active flags, if anything, I don't know. I sispect nothing as otherwise the code in the MBR would get confused.
For those who don't know, OS/2 bootmanager has its own partition.
