preserve first primary partition

[Gert Huisman]

Here is a working example from our DUALBOOT setup:

disk_config disk1
primary  -             preserve1     ro,nosuid            ;
primary  /             1000-2000     rw,errors=remount-ro ; -c -j ext3
logical  swap          2000-8000     rw                  
logical  /var          2000-5000     rw                   ; -m 5  -j ext3
logical  /tmp          2000-5000     rw                   ; -m 0 -j ext3
logical  /usr          8000-16000    rw                   ; -j ext3
logical  /scratch      50-           rw,nosuid            ; -m 1 -j ext3
