+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+uuid
+   use UUID instead of device in fstab 
+

+
+NAME

+cdist-type__install_partition_msdos - creates msdos partitions
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to create msdos paritions.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+type
+   the partition type used in fdisk (such as 82 or 83) or "extended"

+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+partition
+   defaults to object_id
+
+bootable
+   mark partition as bootable, true or false, defaults to false
+
+size
+   the size of the partition (such as 32M or 15G, whole numbers

+   (these should only be used after all specific partition sizes are
+   specified). Defaults to +.
+
+
+EXAMPLES

+Objective:
+
+    Create a bootable media that contains everything to install and configure a system.
+
+Ideas:
+
+* usb stick
+** uefi vs. bios
+** contains cdist config
+** static ip (?) (if at all)
+** hostname setup to localhost
+** install and config support
+* preos from existing OS?
+** requires kernel
+** requires initramfs (self build)
+** missing tools: cdist preos --config hostname...
+* testing with qemu
+* syslinux/isolinux?
