[Bug 868250] [NEW] cfdisk fails to create 'raid autdetect' partition on first partition

[szymon_g]

Public bug reported:

Hi!
i tried to create raid partition via livecd of 11.10; in cfdisk i created 2 partitions:
sda1 - 130 mb for /boot
and sda2 - 950gb for lvm

when i tried to set their type, i set "linux raid autodetect" /FD/ and i wrote it to disk & exit cfdisk.
when i started cfdisk on this drive again, the first partition was in ext2 type, another one was in proper, "raid type".
i managed to around that problem by creating partitions in parted program, than setting their type in cfdisk.
