- <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.

- <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 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.
