Description Vladimir Romanov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

In hb-install-x86+amd64-disk.xml

Do the same for the boot partition (128 MB), swap partition (in the example, 512 MB) and the root partition that spans the remaining disk (for which the end size is marked as <c>-1</c>, meaning the end of the disk minus one MB, which is the farthest a partition can go).

I think, "-1" means not end SIZE, but end LOCATION for the partition.

Reproducible: Always
