- <sect2 arch="alpha"><title>Partitioning in Tru64 UNIX</title>
-<para>
-
-Tru64 UNIX, formerly known as Digital UNIX, which is in turn formerly
-known as OSF/1, uses the partitioning scheme similar to the BSD `disk
-label', which allows for up to eight partitions per disk drive. The
-partitions are numbered `1' through to `8' in
-Linux and ``lettered'' `a' through to `h' in UNIX.
-Linux kernels 2.2 and higher always correspond `1' to
-`a', `2' to `b' and so on. For
-example, <filename>rz0e</filename> in Tru64 UNIX would most likely be called
-<filename>sda5</filename> in Linux.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Partitions in the disk label may overlap. Moreover, the `c' partition
-is required to span the entire disk (thus overlapping all other
-non-empty partitions). Under Linux this makes <filename>sda3</filename>
-identical to <filename>sda</filename> (<filename>sdb3</filename> to <filename>sdb</filename>, if
-present, and so on). Apart from satisfying this requirement, you
-should carefully avoid creating overlapping partitions.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Another conventional requirement is for the `a' partition to start from
-the beginning of the disk, so that it always includes the boot block
-with the disk label. If you intend to boot Debian from that disk, you
-need to size it at least 2MB to fit aboot and perhaps a kernel.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Note that these two partitions are only required for compatibility;
-you must not put a file system onto them, or you'll destroy data. If
-you're not going to share the disk with Tru64 Unix or one of the free
-4.4BSD-Lite derived operating systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD),
-you can ignore these requirements, and use the partitioning tool from
-the Debian boot disks. See <xref linkend="partition-programs"/> for details.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Disks can be partitioned with the graphical disk configuration tool that
-is accessible through the Application Manager, or with the command-line
-<command>disklabel</command> utility. Partition type for the Linux file
-system should be set to `resrvd8'. This can only be done via
-<command>disklabel</command>; however, all other configuration can easily be
-performed with the graphical tool.
-
-</para><para>
-
-It is possible, and indeed quite reasonable, to share a swap partition
-between UNIX and Linux. In this case it will be needed to do a
-<command>mkswap</command> on that partition every time the system is rebooted
-from UNIX into Linux, as UNIX will damage the swap signature. You may
-want to run <command>mkswap</command> from the Linux start-up scripts before
-adding swap space with <command>swapon -a</command>.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you want to mount UNIX partitions under Linux, note that Digital UNIX
-can use two different file system types, UFS and AdvFS, of which Linux
-only understands the former.
-

- <sect2 arch="alpha"><title>Partitioning in Windows NT</title>
-
-<para>
-
-Windows NT uses the PC-style partition table. If you are manipulating
-existing FAT or NTFS partitions, it is recommended that you use the
-native Windows NT tools (or, more conveniently, you can also
-repartition your disk from the AlphaBIOS setup menu). Otherwise, it
-is not really necessary to partition from Windows; the Linux
-partitioning tools will generally do a better job. Note that when you
-run NT, the Disk Administrator may offer you to write a ``harmless
-signature'' on non-Windows disks if you have any. <emphasis>Never</emphasis> let
-it do that, as this signature will destroy the partition information.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you plan to boot Linux from an ARC/AlphaBIOS/ARCSBIOS console, you
-will need a (small) FAT partition for MILO. 5 Mb is quite
-sufficient. If Windows NT is installed, its 6 Mb bootstrap partition
-can be employed for this purpose.
