  Steps to Reproduce
  =============================
  1. Start netboot installation on Firestone baremetal machine from 
  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty-proposed/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/wily-netboot/
  2. During "Partition disks" select 
  Manual -> Guided partitioning -> Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM

    ? The installer can guide you through partitioning a disk (using          ?
    ? different standard schemes) or, if you prefer, you can do it            ?
    ? manually. With guided partitioning you will still have a chance later   ?

  3. Select ext3 as root file system and continue.

  == Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish123@xxxxxxxxxx> - ==
  I see the following errors in the syslog, parted is able to create the partition but mke2fs is unable to create the ext3 file system.
