[Bug 68243] manual partitioning still can't create HFS bootstrap partition

Public bug reported:

gparted doesn't let you manage flags on a non-real partition (that
hasn't been written to the disk yet), so it's impossible to create an
HFS bootstrap partition using manual partitioning with the GTK frontend.
The workaround is either to use automatic partitioning (and then
overwrite everything but the HFS bootstrap partition using manual
partitioning if desired) or to use the alternate install CD.

Sorry I didn't notice this until too close to release to fix it ...
