-Make sure you create a <quote>Sun disk label</quote> on your boot disk. This is
-the only kind of partition scheme that the OpenBoot PROM understands,
-and so it's the only scheme from which you can boot. The
-<keycap>s</keycap> key is used in <command>fdisk</command> to
-create Sun disk labels.

-Furthermore, on &arch-title; disks, make sure your first partition on
-your boot disk starts at cylinder 0. While this is required, it also
-means that the first partition will contain the partition table and
-the boot block, which are the first two sectors of the disk. You must
-<emphasis>not</emphasis> put swap on the first partition of the boot
-drive, since swap partitions do not preserve the first few sectors of
-the partition. You can put Ext2 or UFS partitions there; these will
-leave the partition table and the boot block alone.

-
-It is also advised that the third partition should be of type <quote>Whole
-disk</quote> (type 5), and contain the entire disk (from the first cylinder
-to the last). This is simply a convention of Sun disk labels, and
-helps the <command>SILO</command> boot loader keep its bearings.
