retitle 277357 can't preseed partitioner with non-devfs device name thanks Ok, so it seems that modifying my preseed file linked above to use d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
instead of /dev/sda allows it to work. This is contrary to the documentation at http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apcs01.html which states: # Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can # be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format. IMO it should be possible to use the "traditional" device name, as that is what many people are familiar with (including myself, I have no exposure to devfs device names before now). Please reassign this bug to the proper installer component if necessary, I don't know which one it would belong to.
