Comment 12 for bug 57860

The installer and (g/qt)parted will not be able to repartition the
drive, or at least, will not be able to refresh the partition table
after modifying it. Use fdisk to partition the disk, then re-run dmraid
to detect the changes. Then tell the installer to use the existing
partitions.
