This is wrong. The option preserve also works for logical partitions,
but there are problems when the extended partition does not start or
end on a cylinder boundarie. I had this problem when using three
primary partitions. When I switch to only two two primary partitions,
I could also preserve the logical partitions. I don't know why this
works, but it works! So do not touch the script setup_harddisk and try
to use only two primary partitions.
