          # 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
