Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* DASD drives have two types ECKD and FBA.
* ECKD have been made to use dasd partition table by default, however can be
used with msdos partition table
* FBA devices use msdos partition table by default
* Both types of drives can only hold 3 partitions
* However parted/partman default to using logical partitions with default
installation recipe, thus exploading instalations.
[Test Case]
* Start the installer, activate ECKD and/or FBA devices
* In case of ECKD choose to use msdos partition table (label)
* The installer should only create primary partitions, and not offer to create
logical partitions in any way
