Re: Partitioning Atari Falcon in order to run linux/m68k

Hm, I see. This calls for either conv=swab, using ARAnyM to
create HDD images, or some sort of device mapper available
on the other platforms, then. (For IDE drives, that is.)
I’d not put the hack just into the partitioning tool, since
we cannot mount the filesystems without the larger changes
(swab/aranym/dm-swab) anyway. Just let it always operate on
a device (be it /dev/hda, /dev/nfhd8, /dev/dm-*) as if it
had the proper octet order.
