# 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
