Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Installer on lucid seems to be bit broken, I can't create /boot partition
smaller than 16.8GB on 1T disk with alternative installer, text mode.
I tried giving size as 200M, 200MB, 1%, 1G and creating primary in
beginning of disk. All resulting 16.8G partition 16.8G from
beginning.
Used cd-image is from
http://
Tried creating partition with ext2, ext3, ext4, same results.
However, when there is that 16.8G partition with 16.8G offset, I can
create another partition with correct size. So bug happens only when
creating first partition to empty disk?

That's impressive; it seems to have got thoroughly confused about the optimal partition alignment on your disk. Could you please press Alt-F2, start a shell, and tell me the output of the following commands?
cat /sys/block/ sda/alignment_ offset sda/queue/ minimum_ io_size sda/queue/ optimal_ io_size sda/queue/ physical_ block_size
cat /sys/block/
