boot attribute on partition lost

15 Feb 2005

      Hi

I install my system from CDs and layou the patirions as follows:

a7lpp:/var/opt/mkcdrec # parted /dev/sda print
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-70007.199 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031   1027.595  primary   Linux-swap  type=82
2       1027.595  11272.170  primary   reiserfs    type=83
3      11272.170  69994.138  primary   reiserfs    boot, type=83

However, when I regenerate the system using autoyast I get:

Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-70007.199 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031   1027.595  primary   Linux-swap  type=82
2       1027.595  11272.170  primary   reiserfs    type=83
3      11272.170  69994.138  primary   reiserfs    type=83

The boot attribute has been lost. How can I retain this attribute?

Thanks

My XML is as follows:

    <partitioning config:type="list">
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/sda</device>
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
            <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
            <mount>swap</mount>
            130
            1
            <size>auto</size>
          </partition>
