EXAMPLES

          # 128MB, linux, bootable
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda1 --type 83 --size 128M --bootable true
          # 512MB, swap
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda2 --type 82 --size 512M
          # 100GB, extended
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda3 --type extended --size 100G
          # 10GB, linux
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda5 --type 83 --size 10G
          # 50% of the free space of the extended partition, linux
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda6 --type 83 --size 50%
          # rest of the extended partition, linux
          __install_partition_msdos /dev/sda7 --type 83 --size +
          # nvm device partition 2
