-such as <quote>disk2:a</quote> to boot disk2, first partition. Full
-OpenBoot device names have the form
-
-<informalexample>
-<screen>
-<replaceable>driver-name</replaceable>@
-<replaceable>unit-address</replaceable>:
-<replaceable>device-arguments</replaceable>
-</screen></informalexample>.
-
-In older revisions of OpenBoot, device naming is a bit different: the
-floppy device is called <quote>/fd</quote>, and SCSI disk devices are of
-the form <quote>sd(<replaceable>controller</replaceable>,
-<replaceable>disk-target-id</replaceable>,
-<replaceable>disk-lun</replaceable>)</quote>. The command
-<userinput>show-devs</userinput> in newer OpenBoot revisions is useful
-for viewing the currently configured devices. For full information,
-whatever your revision, see the
-<ulink url="&url-openboot;">Sun OpenBoot Reference</ulink>.
-
-</para><para>
-
-To boot from a specific device, use the command <userinput>boot
-<replaceable>device</replaceable></userinput>. You can set this
-behavior as the default using the <userinput>setenv</userinput>
-command. However, the name of the variable to set changed between
-OpenBoot revisions. In OpenBoot 1.x, use the command
-<userinput>setenv boot-from
-<replaceable>device</replaceable></userinput>. In later revisions of
-OpenBoot, use the command <userinput>setenv boot-device
-<replaceable>device</replaceable></userinput>. Note, this is also
-configurable using the <command>eeprom</command> command on Solaris,
-or modifying the appropriate files in
-<filename>/proc/openprom/options/</filename>, for example under Linux:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-# echo disk1:1 &gt; /proc/openprom/options/boot-device
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-and under Solaris:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-eeprom boot-device=disk1:1

-
-First, just a note about re-installations. With Debian, a
-circumstance that will require a complete re-installation of your
-system is very rare; perhaps mechanical failure of the hard disk would
-be the most common case.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Many common operating systems may require a complete installation to
-be performed when critical failures take place or for upgrades to new
-OS versions. Even if a completely new installation isn't required,
-often the programs you use must be re-installed to operate properly in
-the new OS.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Under &debian;, it is much more likely that your OS can be repaired
-rather than replaced if things go wrong. Upgrades never require a
-wholesale installation; you can always upgrade in-place. And the
-programs are almost always compatible with successive OS releases. If
-a new program version requires newer supporting software, the Debian
-packaging system ensures that all the necessary software is
-automatically identified and installed. The point is, much effort has
-been put into avoiding the need for re-installation, so think of it as
-your very last option. The installer is <emphasis>not</emphasis>

-
-</para><para>
-
-The installer software, <classname>debian-installer</classname>, is
-the primary concern of this manual. It detects hardware and loads
-appropriate drivers, uses <classname>dhcp-client</classname> to set up the
-network connection, and runs <classname>debootstrap</classname> to install
-the base system packages. Many more actors play smaller parts in this process,
-but <classname>debian-installer</classname> has completed its task when
-you load the new system for the first time.
-
-</para><para>
-
-To tune the system to your needs, <classname>tasksel</classname> allows you
-to choose to install various predefined bundles of software like a Web
-server or a Desktop environment.
-
-</para><para>
-
-When <classname>debian-installer</classname> finishes, before the
-first system load, you have only a very basic command line driven
-system. The graphical interface which displays windows on your monitor
-will not be installed unless you select it with <classname>tasksel</classname>.
-It's optional because many &debian; systems are servers which don't really
-have any need for a graphical user interface to do their job.
-
-</para><para arch="not-s390">
-
-Just be aware that the X system is completely separate from
-<classname>debian-installer</classname>, and in fact is much more
-complicated. Installation and trouble shooting of the X window
-installation is not within the scope of this manual.

- <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 <quote>disk
-label</quote>, which allows for up to eight partitions per disk drive. The
-partitions are numbered <quote>1</quote> through to <quote>8</quote> in
-Linux and <quote>lettered</quote> <quote>a</quote> through to
-<quote>h</quote> in UNIX. Linux kernels 2.2 and higher always correspond
-<quote>1</quote> to <quote>a</quote>, <quote>2</quote> to <quote>b</quote>
-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 a Tru64 disk label may overlap. Moreover, if this disk
-will be used from Tru64, the <quote>c</quote> 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). However, the partman
-partitioning tool used by &d-i; cannot handle overlapping partitions at
-present. As a result, it is currently not recommended to share disks
-between Tru64 and Debian. Partitions on Tru64 disks can be mounted
-under Debian after installation has been completed.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Another conventional requirement is for the <quote>a</quote> 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.
-Note that this partition is only required for compatibility; you must
-not put a file system onto it, or you'll destroy data.
-
-</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.

-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 <quote>harmless
-signature</quote> 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. Debian &releasename; does not support
-installing MILO. If you already have MILO installed on your system, or
-install MILO from other media, Debian can still be booted from ARC.

-One of the most common installations is onto a system that already
-contains DOS (including Windows 3.1), Win32 (such as Windows 95, 98, Me,
-NT, 2000, XP), or OS/2, and it is desired to put Debian onto the same disk

-edit partition table</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>, select the partition to
-resize, and specify its new size.
-So in most cases you should not need to use the method described below.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Before going any further, you should have decided how you will be
-dividing up the disk. The method in this section will only split a
-partition into two pieces. One will contain the original OS and the
-other will be used for Debian. During the installation of Debian, you
-will be given the opportunity to use the Debian portion of the disk as you
-see fit, i.e., as swap or as a file system.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The idea is to move all the data on the partition to the beginning,
-before changing the partition information, so that nothing will be
-lost. It is important that you do as little as possible between the
-data movement and repartitioning to minimize the chance of a file
-being written near the end of the partition as this will decrease the
-amount of space you can take from the partition.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The first thing needed is a copy of <command>fips</command> which is
-available in the <filename>tools/</filename> directory on your nearest Debian
-mirror. Unzip the archive and copy the files
-<filename>RESTORRB.EXE</filename>, <filename>FIPS.EXE</filename> and
-<filename>ERRORS.TXT</filename> to a bootable floppy. A bootable floppy can
-be created using the command <filename>sys a:</filename> under DOS.
-<command>fips</command> comes with very good documentation which you may
-want to read. You will definitely need to read the documentation if
-you use a disk compression driver or a disk manager. Create the disk
-and read the documentation <emphasis>before</emphasis> you defragment the disk.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The next thing needed is to move all the data to the beginning of the

-later, can easily do the job. See the <command>fips</command> documentation
-for a list of other software that may do the trick. Note that if you
-have Windows 9x, you must run <command>defrag</command> from there, since
-DOS doesn't understand VFAT, which is used to support for long
-filenames, used in Windows 95 and higher.
-
-</para><para>
-
-After running the defragmenter (which can take a while on a large

-floppy drive. Simply type <filename>a:\fips</filename> and follow the directions.

-Many people have tried operating their 90 MHz CPU at 100 MHz, etc. It
-sometimes works, but is sensitive to temperature and other factors and
-can actually damage your system. One of the authors of this document
-over-clocked his own system for a year, and then the system started
-aborting the <command>gcc</command> program with an unexpected signal
-while it was compiling the operating system kernel. Turning the CPU
-speed back down to its rated value solved the problem.

-The <command>gcc</command> compiler is often the first thing to die
-from bad memory modules (or other hardware problems that change data
-unpredictably) because it builds huge data structures that it
-traverses repeatedly. An error in these data structures will cause it
-to execute an illegal instruction or access a non-existent
-address. The symptom of this will be <command>gcc</command> dying from
-an unexpected signal.

-The very best motherboards support parity RAM and will actually tell

-don't have a way to fix the error, thus they generally crash
-immediately after they tell you about the bad RAM. Still, it's better
-to be told you have bad memory than to have it silently insert errors
-in your data. Thus, the best systems have motherboards that support
-parity and true-parity memory modules; see

-Many systems have a <emphasis>turbo</emphasis> switch that controls
-the speed of the CPU. Select the high-speed setting. If your BIOS
-allows you to disable software control of the turbo switch (or
-software control of CPU speed), do so and lock the system in
-high-speed mode. We have one report that on a particular system, while
-Linux is auto-probing (looking for hardware devices) it can
-accidentally touch the software control for the turbo switch.

-Many users of Cyrix CPUs have had to disable the cache in their
-systems during installation, because the floppy disk has errors if
-they do not. If you have to do this, be sure to re-enable your cache
-when you are finished with installation, as the system runs
-<emphasis>much</emphasis> slower with the cache disabled.

-
-We don't think this is necessarily the fault of the Cyrix CPU. It may
-be something that Linux can work around. We'll continue to look into
-the problem. For the technically curious, we suspect a problem with
-the cache being invalid after a switch from 16-bit to 32-bit code.
