-ia64 EFI firmware supports two partition table (or disk label)
-formats, GPT and MS-DOS.  MS-DOS is the format typically used on i386
-PCs, and is no longer recommended for ia64 systems.  The installer
-provides two partitioning programs, 
-<ulink url="cfdisk.txt"><command>cfdisk</command></ulink> and 
-<ulink url="parted.txt"><command>parted</command></ulink>.
-<command>parted</command> can manage both GPT and MS-DOS tables, while
-<command>cfdisk</command> can only manage MS-DOS tables.  It is very
-important to note that if your disk has previously been partitioned
-with a GPT table, and you now want to use MS-DOS tables, you must use
-<command>parted</command> to create the new partition table.  This is
-because the two tables use different areas of a disk, and
-<command>cfdisk</command> does not know how to remove a GPT table.

-
-An important difference between <command>cfdisk</command> and
-<command>parted</command> is the way they identify a partition
-``type''.  <command>cfdisk</command> uses a byte in the partition
-table (for example, 83 for a linux ext2 partition), while
-<command>parted</command> identifies a partition ``type'' by examining
-the data on that partition.  This means that <command>parted</command>
-will not consider a partition to be a swap partition until you format
-it as such.  Similarly, it won't consider a partition a linux ext2
-partition until you create a file system on it.
-<command>parted</command> does allow you to create file systems and
-format swap space, and you should do that from within
-<command>parted</command>.
-

-
-Unfortunately, <command>parted</command> is a command line driven
-program and so not as easy to use as <command>cfdisk</command>.
-Assuming that you want to erase your whole disk and create a GPT table
-and some partitions, then something similar to the following command
-sequence could be used:

-      mklabel gpt
-      mkpartfs primary fat 0 50
-      mkpartfs primary linux-swap 51 1000
-      mkpartfs primary ext2 1001 3000
-      set 1 boot on
-      print
-      quit

-That creates a new partition table, and three partitions to be used as
-an EFI boot partition, swap space, and a root file system.  Finally it
-sets the boot flag on the EFI partition.  Partitions are specified in
-Megabytes, with start and end offsets from the beginning of the disk.
-So, for example, above we created a 1999MB ext2 file system starting
-at offset 1001MB from the start of the disk.  Note that formatting swap
-space with <command>parted</command> can take a few minutes to
-complete, as it scans the partition for bad blocks.

-  <sect2 arch="ia64"><title>Boot Loader Partition Requirements</title>
-
-<para>
-
-ELILO, the ia64 boot loader, requires a partition containing a FAT
-file system.  If you used GPT partition tables, then that partition
-should have the <userinput>boot</userinput> flag set; if you used
-MS-DOS partition tables, then that partition should be of type "EF".
-The partition must be big enough to hold the boot loader and any
-kernels or RAMdisks you may wish to boot.  A minimum size would be
-about 16MB, but if you are likely to be doing development, or
-experimenting with different kernels, then 128MB might be a better
-size.
