Well, I finally got around to reproducing, and zyx-liveinstaller.log
showed me
Command (m for help): 8: unknown command
which led me to figure out what was going wrong. Basically my poor
man's scripted fdisk type flag setting isn't coping with fdisk's
behavior when there is only a single partition on the disk. The reason
it was working in my single partition installation test was because I
had other partitions on the disk at the same time.
I'll put together a fix asap. I should probably be using sfdisk instead
of fdisk, and maybe this will force me to do that.
