Bug Description
rebooting a wily cloud image under ppc64 qemu fails to come back up.
also power off then start causes this issue.
It ends in a SLOF prompt after showing:
Trying to load: from: disk ...
No DOS disk-label found.
E3404: Not a bootable device!
Trying to load: from: disk1 ...
No DOS disk-label found.
E3404: Not a bootable device!
Trying to load: from: cdrom ... No medium !
E3405: No such device
Trying to load: from: net ...
Bootloader 1.6
Reading MAC address from device: 52:54:00:12:34:56
Requesting IP address via DHCP: 10.0.2.15
Requesting file "" via TFTP from 10.0.2.2
Receiving data: 0 KBytes
E3010 (net) TFTP access violation
the reason for this is that growpart used sfdisk to resize the disk, and sfdisk changed the partition type of the PReP partition to the default Linux partition type. The bootloader then did not consider this a partition.
