why would you need to initialize ext2fs partitions? You just create them
and let them be - debian installer will initialize them by itself,
right?

I don't see how linux partition initalizing is related to installing
driver on a gemdos partition.

oh, c'mon:

0) launch "aranym -G", create new IDE1 disk drive say 10 GB, reboot to
TOS
1) start HDDRUTIL.APP, in menu select Harddisk -> Partition
2) define first GEMDOS partition (no.0) - type BGM, MBYTE say 500
3) define second Linux partition (no.1)-  type LNX, MBYTE whatever you
wish (and the disk size permits)
4) click OK, say that you're sure, it says "Finished" and you reboot
5) start HDDRUTIL.APP, Harddisk -> Initialize, select the first
partition and OK the offered values for cluster sizes etc.
6) in menu select File -> Install HDDRIVER

and that's it.
