Yes, I'm sure. Here is a screenshot of GParted about this partition.

This works with sh, thanks. Why does this doesn't works natively just by using the selected interpreter at head of script?

@Hamza
as per:
http://files.porteus.org/screen.png

i see that installer detected your partition as 'aufs'.
you must have run this script from /root or any other folder in '/' and not /mnt/sdXY/boot

will try to tweak the installer to detect destination partition despite of the folder you are currently in.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
