Second patch modifies the automatic partition preparation step of the installer to use MiB instead of MB, because most users (myself included) are more familiar with MiB (2^20 bytes) than with MB (10^6 bytes) and because that's what sfdisk (used for the actual partitioning) is expecting.

Just to be clear here - we are planning on replacing the old installer with AIF in the near future (maybe even the next ISO), so fixes for the old installer are probably not going to get merged unless they're showstoppers for the release.
