I've installed MacOSX on 10, woody on partitions 11-16 and intended to
install sid on partitions 17-22. So far so good ..... woody is installed
and running.
However, when going through the sid install, it wouldn't initialize
partitions 21 & 22 (/tmp and /home). However it let me mount them and
continue with the install - I figured I could sort them once I'd
installed sid. I've installed sid (base plus a few packages: aptitude,
sudo, vim, exim4 and mutt) but I can't seem to initialise and mount
these two partitions - I tried mke2fs -l /tmp -T ext3 but it didn't
seem to recognise the partition (I've rebooted into woody to write this
and can't remember the error exactly).
Have I exceeded the maximum number of partitions? I'm only trying to
mount 17 - 22. Is there a way of getting these two initialized, named
and mounted or will I have to repartition with maybe just /, /usr and
swap?
Any help will be gratefully received ;)
Regards
Clive
