Thanks for everyone's help with getting the disk partitioned in %pre. I
have that setup fine now. The weird thing is, that after Red Hat installs,
the partition is somehow moved to #3. I can't figure it out. I'm
explicitly telling it to create it as partition 1. When my machine is
built and I do a :
fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 255 heads, 32 sectors, 4358 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8160 * 512 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Why aren't partition table entries in disk order? Weird how the third
partition starts at the first cylinder. BTW, no lectures on the partition
layout please, this is just a test-box.
