    Package: debian-installer
    Severity: normal

    Hi,

    when installing powerpc, the default filesys is ext3 (which i think is a
    good default), but later on the quix installation fails for it needs at
    least a /boot in ext2 format. Thus going back to partitioning and
    creating a /boot in ext2. Now the partitions are reformatted, but the
    d-i goes back to quix installation (skipping over bootstrapping), and
    quix fails again for there is no system in /target anymore.

    Either the quix should learn to cope with ext3 or the partitioning
    should be telling you, that at least one ext2 is needed.

    Anyway, the d-i should again bootstrap the new partitions after voiding
    their contents instead of skipping all the way forward again.
