So we saw those negative numbers in the sfdisk script; is it possible at all for
FAI to fit the above scheme onto the disk? As you say, you've already got 1
primary and 2 logical partitions on your disk. Does the underlying extended
partition already occupy the whole disk?

Thanks,

PS.: This may also be a situation setup_harddisks currently can't handle, but
I'm not sure on this one.
