Sorry, but I fail to see the connection. I'm going to answer you further 
comments step-by-step.

'setup-storage', but normally you don't have any direct contact with that. 
Configuration is done via <config space>/disk_config/<classname> and performed 
by the 'partition' task.

You can.

automatic: disklabel:gpt-bios
manual: disklabel:gpt

However 'gpt-bios' will result in a 'out-of-order' partition naming, like 
described in my previous post.

This has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

I don't understand. FAI isn't very useful if you netboot into a FAI-client 
but don't perform some kind of partitioning. ('Keep & reuse all existing 
partitions' is a special case, but it is also handled via the partitioning 
task.)

I was referring only to the 'out-of-order' issue. This was not a general 
comment. Maybe that's where the misunderstanding comes from?
