Re: palo / fdisk and debian installer
Hi,
Well, the install on my 712 is rather old. I've used the 0.9.2 ISO (which is
way before debian-hppa 3.0) to do the job. I didn't have any problems during
the install. Just read the installation manual very carefully. It might of
course help to be a little more clear near the 6.3.1 section. Perhaps an
example of some kind.
BTW, I think you _can't_ put your /boot anywhere. The whole partition where
your /boot is located should be within the first 2GB of your harddisk.
regards,
Kenneth
