Bug Description
Steps to reproduce
------------------
* Have a disk with a DOS partition table and 3 existing primary partitions.
* Run the desktop installer under UEFI and navigate to manual partitioning
* Create a new partition and mount it at /
This will result in a crash and the logs will show:
> Exception: Exceeded number of available partitions
Adding the rootfs partition will actually create two partitions:
* a partition mounted at /
* a partition mounted at /boot/efi
There is enough room for one more primary partition, but not 2.
