Inconsistent support for dvh disk labels

[Anton Zinoviev]

Dear parted maintainers!

At

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/sgi-mips?bug=263238&msg=6&att=1

you can find a discussion regarding the support for SGI mips in Debian
sarge installer.

Parted shows the bootable partition of the dvh disk label as an extended
partition and the boot files in this partition are showed as logical
partition.  However the support of the boot files is not fully
functional.  We think that parted should either have fully functional
support for these or the mapping boot-file<->logical partition should be
removed.

The future development of the installer will depend on your opinion
about this bug, so I will appreciate if you share it to me.
