  sda2, replace sda2

Bug description:
  Xubuntu QA-test install (hirsute daily) on
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

  Box (BIOS) has two partitions, 2x hirsute installs
  (originally a full disk install + subsequent install.alongside)

  Selected SDA2 or later install partition; it was used as "/" with ext4
  new format

  In messages I see

  didn't create one)
