Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-efi

<fabbione> i did select the usual "Use the entire device" at guided partition
<fabbione> the partition layout is good
<fabbione> i get the sda1 as fat16 with flag msftres
<fabbione> and that's the problem
<fabbione> it should be set to boot
<fabbione> if i go manual, i can't change the flag
<fabbione> i need to use parted manually from tty2
<fabbione> the issue at the very end is that elilo installer calls /usr/lib/find-partition --flag boot
<fabbione> and finds nothing
<fabbione> so it fails
<fabbione> because the boot flag itself is not really required for what I can see
