Bug Description
When I edit the partition table manually during install of dapper, no matter what I do to insist that I want / to be reiserfs or /boot to be ext2, I always end up at the "Ready to Install" window which tells me that it is going to reformat both of them as ext3.
Unfortunately, not reformatting is not permitted for / or /boot, so there is no workaround for this bug that I can see.

This is with the graphical installer, right? Please attach /var/log/ syslog/ installer, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug report. Thanks for reporting this.
