Title:
  NewWorld boot partition given incorrect mount points on manual
  partitioning

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi there, running the 12.04 testcases for manual partitioning I've
  discovered a few problems with how ubiquity handles NewWorld boot
  partitions.

  When I create/add a NewWorld boot partition it is automatically given
  a mount point.  If this is the first partition I've created it is
  mounted as root, but if root is already taken it is mounted as /home.
  It is then not possible to unselect the "mounted as" option.  I don't
  think NewWorld boot partitions should have any mount point.

  What I found I had to do was create say an ext4 partition with no
  mount point and then change its type to NewWorld boot partition.  Then
  I would have a NewWorld partition with no mount point.  If you can
  follow that!?!

  Another thing that maybe worth a mention is I cannot create a boot
  partition smaller than 1MB.  Traditionally boot partitions are set as
  800k by the automatic installers.  I don't know if some machines have
  a problem with larger boot partitions??

  I'll try and attach the installer files.

  Thanks!
