-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 <command>partman</command> 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), you should <emphasis>not</emphasis> create the
-third partition as a <quote>whole disk</quote> partition (i.e. with
-start and end sectors to span the whole disk), as this renders the
-disk incompatible with the tools used to make it bootable with aboot.
-This means that the disk configured by the installer for use as the
-Debian boot disk will be inaccessible to the operating systems mentioned
-earlier.
-
-</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
-it manually from the shell using <command>mkdosfs</command> before
-attempting to install the boot loader.
