Hi,
how can I preserve dos partitions using fai disk_config?
Here an example of a server to be installed (partitions 1 +2 should
be preserved):

server1:~# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 499.5 GB, 499558383616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60734 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000080

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1           9       72261   de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2              10         271     2104515    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda3             272         393      979965   83  Linux
/dev/sda4             394       60734   484689082+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5             394        1609     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6            1610        2825     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7            2826        4041     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda8            4042        5257     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda9            5258       11336    48829536   83  Linux
/dev/sda10          11337       53888   341798908+  83  Linux
/dev/sda11          53889       58751    39062016   83  Linux
/dev/sda12          58752       60734    15928416   82  Linux swap / Solaris

This is my configuration file:

disk_config disk1 preserve_reinstall:1,2
primary /dos           70-80      fat32        ???
primary /dos2          210-220    fat32      ???
primary /boot          500        ext3    rw
logical /              15G-16G    ext3    rw,errors=remount-ro  createopts="-m 
5" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /work          10G-11G    ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /usr           10G-11G    ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /var           10G-11G    ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /opt           50-60G     ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /data          300000-    ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /tmp           40-50G     ext3    rw                    createopts="-m 
0" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical swap           4G         swap    sw
