+ <title>Debian Partitioning Programs</title>
+<para>
+
+Several varieties of partitioning programs have been adapted by Debian
+developers to work on various types of hard disks and computer
+architectures. Following is a list of the program(s) applicable for
+your architecture.

+Be careful if you have existing FreeBSD partitions on your machine.
+The installation kernels include support for these partitions, but the

+One of these programs will be run by default when you select
+<guimenuitem>Partition a Hard Disk</guimenuitem>.  If the one which is run by default isn't
+the one you want, quit the partitioner, go to the shell
+(<userinput>tty2</userinput>) by pressing <keycap>Alt</keycap>
+and <keycap>F2</keycap> keys together, and manually type in the
+name of the program you want to use (and arguments, if any).  Then
+skip the <guimenuitem>Partition a Hard Disk</guimenuitem> step in
+<command>debian-installer</command> and continue to the next step.

+
+If you will be working with more than 20 partitions on your ide disk,
+you will need to create devices for partitions 21 and beyond. The next
+step of initializing the partition will fail unless a proper device is
+present. As an example, here are commands you can use in
+<userinput>tty2</userinput> or under Execute A Shell to add a device
+so the 21st partition can be initialized:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+cd /dev
+mknod hda21 b 3 21 
+chgrp disk hda21
+chmod 660 hda21
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+Booting into the new system will fail unless proper devices are present
+on the target system. After installing the kernel and modules, execute:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+cd /target/dev
+mknod hda21 b 3 21 
+chgrp disk hda21
+chmod 660 hda21
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+</para><para arch="i386">
+
+Remember to mark your boot partition as ``Bootable''. 
+
+</para><para condition="mac-fdisk.txt">
+
+See the 
+<ulink url="mac-fdisk.txt">mac-fdisk manual page</ulink> for
+information on how to create partitions.  One key point, is that the
+swap partition is identified on Mac type disks by its name; it must be
+named `swap'. All Mac linux partitions are the same partition type, 
+Apple_UNIX_SRV2. Please read the fine manual. We also suggest reading the 
+<ulink url="&url-mac-fdisk-tutorial;">mac-fdisk Tutorial</ulink>, which
+includes steps you should take if you are sharing your disk with
+MacOS.
