[Bug 820578] Re: partman fails to properly partition an SD card for use as boot & rootfs during netinstall

[Tobin Davis]

Reopening and assigning to Michael Casadevall, as he knows what the
issue is.

The problem is the netinstall img file is only 10M, and unless the SD
card is repartitioned during install, the flash-kernel step fails due to
disk space.  Flash-kernel doesn't reformat the SD boot partition, and
tries to backup the existing files before copying new ones over.  10M is
simply too small for this.

  rootfs during netinstall

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When using netinstall to image a system to an SD card, the partition
  manager fails to properly configure the partitions with a bootable
  vfat partition.  Manually configuring the partitions was problematic
  at best.
