-It's perfectly fine to partition from SunOS; in fact, if you intend to
-run both SunOS and &debian; on the same machine, it is recommended that
-you partition using SunOS prior to installing &debian;. The Linux
-kernel understands Sun disk labels, so there are no problems there.
-SILO supports booting Linux and SunOS from any of EXT2 (Linux), UFS
-(SunOS), romfs or iso9660 (CDROM) partitions.

-Whatever system you are using to partition, 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. In <command>fdisk</command>, the
-<keycap>s</keycap> key is used to create Sun disk labels. You only need to do this
-on drives that do not already have a Sun disk label. If you are using a
-drive that was previously formatted using a PC (or other architecture) you
-must create a new disk label, or problems with the disk geometry will most
-likely occur.

-You will probably be using <command>SILO</command> as your boot loader (the
-small program which runs the operating system kernel).
-<command>SILO</command> has certain requirements for partition sizes and
-location; see <xref linkend="partitioning"/>.
