Description Olaf Hering 2006-07-17 17:42:58 UTC 
related to bug #141461, based on the inital change for bug #192080.

when using whole disk on a pegaos, default to disk label amiga.
add the amiga label to the list of known labels

the /proc/cpuinfo output looks like this, I dont know yet if extractNthWord() in Storage::detectArch() will find CHRP or Pegasos2:

olaf@cantaloupe-giga:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
cpu             : 7447/7457, altivec supported

Disk label "amiga" is unsupported.
Unless there is a fate request for this I will not add it.

It has to be approved by PM, by YaST2 team lead and by me.

And I certainly will veto it, since I know how much work it was (and still is)
to support an additional disk label typed (see e.g. mac).
