Select drive partition table in preseed file automated Debian install I am using a preseed file for my Debian installs. I am using 1TB drives, and I would like to use MS-DOS partition tables. It is defaulting to GPT. Is there a way to choose which type of table to use in the preseed file?

The debconf question `partman-partitioning/default_label` should set the partition table type.

You also need to set the boolean question `partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label` to `true` or partman will not overrite an existing partition table.

So you should put in your pressed file :


d-i partman-partitioning/default_label select msdos
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
