I checked the y2log more carefully and found an entry ["auto_added"=true] for a /boot ext2 partition. Now I understand why it fails as I already created 4 primary partitions using all space [swap,/,/export/opt,/export/home]. Why is this auto added, it wasn't with 9.2 and /boot happily lived on my root partition ? How can I disable this auto addition, I just don't want it ?
