Sure, but I want a TOS partition or BGM to install hddriver on and to have a
kernel that I can then boot from the CT60 menu. I will set up the ext3
partitions in debian.

Works fine up to this point

Most of the time I am not offered any partition to initialize here

correct
Hmm, I tried again, two TOS partition, one BGM, four LNX, one SWP, and now I
can initialize and install the driver on the first TOS partition! But the
second TOS and the BGM partition remain hidden, even after several reboots,
why? Well, at least I can boot from HDD now again, I just need to copy the
install files over somehow.
