Let's begin with a checklist: Replace the empty checkboxes [ ] below with checked ones [x] accordingly. -->

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • I am submitting a bug report for existing functionality that does not work as intended

Bug description

While installing the full iso image to a bare metal machine, the user is asked, which partitions are EFI/SWAP/ROOT ...
The output states the chosen disk like this: /dev/nvme0n1X

The X looks like the user just has to add the missing part, like "p1", "p2" and so on.
But the system failes after 3 more steps, when trying to mkfs.fat because it can not open "p1".

Steps to reproduce

  • Install normally
  • Use EFI installation
  • choose different partitions
  • give p1 to p3 as partitions, when asked where the partitions are located

Actual result:
The mkfs.fat fails with the error it could not open "1" or "p1"

Expected result:
The system should check, if the full path to the device is given, or if its just the partition and fill the drive accordingly

Info for developers

none needed, I guess?

One can argue if this is a bug or a feature request, but after the output states by the X, that only the missing part is needed, I think we can call this a bug :-)
