4     * Document partman/early_command (added in partman-base 129).

6     had a user confused by this who hadn't found the note elsewhere
7     explaining owners.
8 cjwatson 57651 * Use /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in the RAID preseeding example rather than
9     /dev/discs/disc0/disc and /dev/discs/disc1/disc, since the latter
