Title:
  [Natty Alpha-2] ubi-partman relinquishes when encountering FreeBSD
  partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  consider this rather lower priority

  It looks like parted does not recognise a FreeBSD partition entirely and thus ubi-partman fails.
  Ubiquity actually reports the 'standard type of the partition table' to be unknown
  and asks to send a list to debian-boot at lists.debian.org.
  however parted has no problem detecting the (msdos) partition table type.
