Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
When installing a new system from the boot floppy, the first step is to
choose a keyboard, then partition a hard disk. After partitioning my hard
disk using the provided utility, I used w to write the partition map, then q
to quit the utility.
When I was returned to the dbootstrap menu, I was presented with text
concerning creation of a swap partition, but a 'Next' menu item choice of
Partition a Hard Disk again. The 'Alternate' menu item is Do Without a Swap
Partition.
I selected the Initialize and Activate a Swap Partition item from further
down the list manually, but when I did an error resulted:
No swap partitions that had already been mounted were detected.
Thus I was forced to select Do Without a Swap Partition to be able to
continue with my install.
I am trying to install on a PowerBase 180 PowerPC with attached SCSI disks
(I was using sdb).

you must name the swap partition `swap' for the installer to know that
it is a swap partition. the is roughly equivilant to the typing on
x86 partition tables. =20
example:
Command (? for help): c
First block: 7P
Length in blocks: 7P
Name of partition: swap
Command (? for help): p
/dev/sdb
# type name length base ( si=
ze ) system
/dev/sdb1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31=
.5k) Partition map
/dev/sdb2 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 54 @ 64 ( 27=
.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/sdb3 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 74 @ 118 ( 37=
.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/sdb4 Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 192 (256=
.0k) Unknown
/dev/sdb5 Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 704 (256=
.0k) Unknown
/dev/sdb6 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 @ 1216 (800=
.0k) Unknown
/dev/sdb7 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 192957 @ 2816 ( 94=
.2M) Linux swap
/dev/sdb8 Apple_HFS untitled 2 333025 @ 195773 (162=
.6M) HFS
/dev/sdb9 Apple_Free Extra 10 @ 528798 ( 5=
.0k) Free space
this bug can be closed. =20
