-Booting Debian from the SRM console (the only disk boot method supported
-by &releasename;) requires you to have a BSD disk label, not a DOS
-partition table, on your boot disk. (Remember, the SRM boot block is
-incompatible with MS-DOS partition tables &mdash; see
-<xref linkend="alpha-firmware"/>.) As a result, <command>partman</command>
-creates BSD disk labels when running on &architecture;, but if your disk
-has an existing DOS partition table the existing partitions will need to
-be deleted before partman can convert it to use a disk label.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you have chosen to use <command>fdisk</command> to partition your
-disk, and the disk that you have selected for partitioning does not
-already contain a BSD disk label, you must use the <quote>b</quote>
-command to enter disk label mode.

-
-Unless you wish to use the disk you are partitioning from Tru64 Unix
-or one of the free 4.4BSD-Lite derived operating systems (FreeBSD,
-OpenBSD, or NetBSD), it is suggested that you do
-<emphasis>not</emphasis> make the third partition contain the whole
-disk. This is not required by <command>aboot</command>, and in fact,
-it may lead to confusion since the <command>swriteboot</command>
-utility used to install <command>aboot</command> in the boot sector
-will complain about a partition overlapping with the boot block.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Also, because <command>aboot</command> is written to the first few
-sectors of the disk (currently it occupies about 70 kilobytes, or 150
-sectors), you <emphasis>must</emphasis> leave enough empty space at
-the beginning of the disk for it. In the past, it was suggested that
-you make a small partition at the beginning of the disk, to be left
-unformatted. For the same reason mentioned above, we now suggest that
-you do not do this on disks that will only be used by GNU/Linux. When
-using <command>partman</command>, a small partition will still be
-created for <command>aboot</command> for convenience reasons.
-
-</para><para condition="FIXME">
-
-For ARC installations, you should make a small FAT partition at the
-beginning of the disk to contain <command>MILO</command> and
-<command>linload.exe</command> &mdash; 5 megabytes should be sufficient, see
-<xref linkend="non-debian-partitioning"/>. Unfortunately, making FAT
-file systems from the menu is not yet supported, so you'll have to do

-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

-The PC BIOS generally adds additional constraints for disk
-partitioning. There is a limit to how many <quote>primary</quote> and
-<quote>logical</quote> partitions a drive can contain. Additionally, with pre
-1994&ndash;98 BIOSes, there are limits to where on the drive the BIOS can boot
-from. More information can be found in the
-<ulink url="&url-partition-howto;">Linux Partition HOWTO</ulink> and the
-<ulink url="&url-phoenix-bios-faq-large-disk;">Phoenix BIOS FAQ</ulink>, but
-this section will include a brief overview to help you plan most situations.
-
-</para><para>
-
-<quote>Primary</quote> partitions are the original partitioning scheme for PC
-disks. However, there can only be four of them. To get past this
-limitation, <quote>extended</quote> and <quote>logical</quote> partitions were invented. By
-setting one of your primary partitions as an extended partition, you
-can subdivide all the space allocated to that partition into logical
-partitions. You can create up to 60 logical partitions per extended
-partition; however, you can only have one extended partition per
-drive.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Linux limits the partitions per drive to 15 partitions for SCSI disks
-(3 usable primary partitions, 12 logical partitions), and 63
-partitions on an IDE drive (3 usable primary partitions, 60 logical
-partitions). However the normal &debian; system provides
-only 20 devices for partitions, so you may not install on partitions
-higher than 20 unless you first manually create devices for those
-partitions.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you have a large IDE disk, and are using neither LBA addressing,
-nor overlay drivers (sometimes provided by hard disk manufacturers),
-then the boot partition (the partition containing your kernel image)
-must be placed within the first 1024 cylinders of your hard drive
-(usually around 524 megabytes, without BIOS translation).
-
-</para><para>
-
-This restriction doesn't apply if you have a BIOS newer than around
-1995&ndash;98 (depending on the manufacturer) that supports the <quote>Enhanced
-Disk Drive Support Specification</quote>. Both Lilo, the Linux loader, and
-Debian's alternative <command>mbr</command> must use the BIOS to read the
-kernel from the disk into RAM. If the BIOS int 0x13 large disk access
-extensions are found to be present, they will be utilized. Otherwise,
-the legacy disk access interface is used as a fall-back, and it cannot
-be used to address any location on the disk higher than the 1023rd
-cylinder. Once Linux is booted, no matter what BIOS your computer
-has, these restrictions no longer apply, since Linux does not use the
-BIOS for disk access.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you have a large disk, you might have to use cylinder translation
-techniques, which you can set from your BIOS setup program, such as
-LBA (Logical Block Addressing) or CHS translation mode (<quote>Large</quote>).
-More information about issues with large disks can be found in the
-<ulink url="&url-large-disk-howto;">Large Disk HOWTO</ulink>. If you
-are using a cylinder translation scheme, and the BIOS does not support
-the large disk access extensions, then your boot partition has to fit
-within the <emphasis>translated</emphasis> representation of the
-1024th cylinder.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The recommended way of accomplishing this is to create a small (25&ndash;50MB
-should suffice) partition at the beginning of the disk to be used as
-the boot partition, and then create whatever other partitions you wish
-to have, in the remaining area. This boot partition
-<emphasis>must</emphasis> be mounted on <filename>/boot</filename>,
-since that is the directory where the Linux kernel(s) will be stored.
-This configuration will work on any system, regardless of whether LBA
-or large disk CHS translation is used, and regardless of whether your
-BIOS supports the large disk access extensions.

-The <command>partman</command> disk partitioner is the default

-The IA64 EFI firmware supports two partition table (or disk label)
-formats, GPT and MS-DOS. MS-DOS, the format typically used on i386
-PCs, is no longer recommended for IA64 systems. Although
-the installer also provides the <command>cfdisk</command>,
-you should only use the <ulink url="parted.txt">
-<command>parted</command></ulink> because only it can manage both GPT

-The automatic partitioning recipes for <command>partman</command>
-allocate an EFI partition as the first partition on the disk.
-You can also set up the partition under the <guimenuitem>Guided
-partitioning</guimenuitem> from the main menu in a manner similar to
-setting up a <emphasis>swap</emphasis> partition.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The <command>partman</command> partitioner will handle most disk
-layouts.
-For those rare cases where it is necessary to manually set up a disk,
-you can use the shell as described above and run the
-<command>parted</command> utility directly using its command line interface.
-Assuming that you want to erase your whole disk and create a GPT table
-and some partitions, then something similar to the following command
-sequence could be used:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
- mklabel gpt
- mkpartfs primary fat 0 50
- mkpartfs primary linux-swap 51 1000
- mkpartfs primary ext2 1001 3000
- set 1 boot on
- print
- quit
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-This creates a new partition table, and three partitions to be used as
-an EFI boot partition, swap space, and a root file system. Finally it
-sets the boot flag on the EFI partition. Partitions are specified in
-Megabytes, with start and end offsets from the beginning of the disk.
-So, for example, above we created a 1999MB ext2 file system starting
-at offset 1001MB from the start of the disk. Note that formatting swap
-space with <command>parted</command> can take a few minutes to
-complete, as it scans the partition for bad blocks.

-ELILO, the ia64 boot loader, requires a partition containing a FAT
-file system with the <userinput>boot</userinput> flag set.
-The partition must be big enough to hold the boot loader and any
-kernels or RAMdisks you may wish to boot. A minimum size would be
-about 20MB, but if you expect to run with multiple kernels, then
-128MB might be a better size.

-The EFI Boot Manager and the EFI Shell fully support the GPT table
-so the boot partition does not necessarily have to be the first
-partition or even on the same disk.
-This is convenient if you should forget to allocate the partition and
-only find out after you have formatted the other partitions on your disk(s).
-The <command>partman</command> partitioner checks for an EFI partition
-at the same time it checks for a properly set up <emphasis>root</emphasis>
-partition.
-This gives you an opportunity to correct the disk layout before the
-package install begins.
-The easiest way to correct this omission is to shrink the last partition
-of the disk to make enough free space for adding an EFI partition.
