Re: partitioning in %pre - New Issue

[James_Martin ao uscourts gov]

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

           Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1   *        10        22     53040   83  Linux

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.
