+PALO, the HPPA boot loader, requires a partition of type <quote>F0</quote> somewhere
+in the first 2GB.  This is where the boot loader and an optional kernel
+and RAMdisk will be stored, so make it big enough for that &mdash; at least
+4Mb (I like 8&ndash;16MB).  An additional requirement of the firmware is that
+the Linux kernel must reside within the first 2GB of the disk.  This
+is typically achieved by making the root ext2 partition fit entirely
+within the first 2GB of the disk.  Alternatively you can create a small
+ext2 partition near the start of the disk and mount that on
+<filename>/boot</filename>, since that is the directory where the Linux
+kernel(s) will be stored.  <filename>/boot</filename> needs to be big enough
+to hold whatever kernels you might wish load; 8&ndash;16MB is generally
+sufficient.
