Here is the section on partitioning.   I have tried varying the partitions
and cannot make this work.
<partitioning config:type="list" >
   <drive>
    <device>/dev/sda</device>
    <partitions config:type="list" >
     <partition>
      false
      
      131
      <format config:type="boolean" >false</format>
      <mount>/boot</mount>
      <size>20MB</size>
      <type>Linux native</type>
     </partition>
     <partition>
      false
      
      130
      <format config:type="boolean" >false</format>
      <mount></mount>
      <size>300MB</size>
      <type>Linux swap</type>
     </partition>
     <partition>
      false
      
      131
      <format config:type="boolean" >false</format>
      <mount>/</mount>
      <size>max</size>
      <type>Linux native</type>
     </partition>
    </partitions>
    <use>all</use>
   </drive>
  </partitioning>
Well, it seems you are missing the most important detail here, the
filesystem that should be created. You did not choose to create a
filesystem and formatting is 'false'. You only created a partition, and
thats it. =(Maybe i should disable the mount point comboBox if
formatting is not specified). You might need to create a partition w/o
formatting if you are creating  a special partition, i.e. for LVM or
RAID. In all other cases a filesystem is required.
...
Is there a more detailed description of how this should look, or how any of
the entries
in the  autoinst.xml  file should look.  The AutoYast2 document section I.
Profile Element Reference
lists the entries, but there is not much detail.
I will look into that.
