The partman auto instructions say that with partition 'max' parameter
set to 1000000000, all remaining space on the disk will be used. Then
it says that there is a partition size limit of 1000000000 due to the
32-bit shell integer limitation.

I am installng a 64-bit version. So, what are the limitations for
64-bit? I want to set a 16GB partition. How can I define a 16GB
partition? How can I allocate the remaining unused space with method{
keep }?

The partman auto instructions say how to label a partitions, but I did
not see a way to label the disk. Is there a way to label the disk?

The partman auto instructions shows how to define a partition as
primary, but there wasn't a description of how to define logical
partitions.

My intent was to have four primary partitions, each bootable for four
different multi-boots. How do I associate any one /boot with a / or
other mount point? After experiementing with this configuration, my
plan is to convert the system to Xen. There is not intent to multi-boot
with Xen. Is there any value in this multi-partition setup like this
for VMs?

Ray, I would ask for this also at "debian-boot" mailing list because
people in there will be able to answer your questions about the specifics
of presseding or at least can point you to some good (or more complete/
detailed) documentation that covers your required scenario.

Greetings,
