+<para>
+
+If you are running AmigaOS, you can use the <command>HDToolBox</command>
+program to adjust your native partitions prior to installation.
+
+</para>
+  </sect2>
+
+  <sect2 arch="m68k"><title>Partitioning in Atari TOS</title>
+<para>
+
+Atari partition IDs are three ASCII characters, use ``LNX'' for data
+and ``SWP'' for swap partitions. If using the low memory installation
+method, a small Minix partition is also needed (about 2 MB), for which
+the partition ID is ``MNX''.  Failure to set the appropriate partition
+IDs not only prevents the Debian installation process from recognizing
+the partitions, but also results in TOS attempting to use the Linux
+partitions, which confuses the hard disk driver and renders the whole
+disk inaccessible.
+
+</para><para>
+
+There are a multitude of third party partitioning tools available (the
+Atari <command>harddisk</command> utility doesn't permit changing the
+partition ID); this manual cannot give detailed descriptions for all
+of them. The following description covers <command>SCSITool</command> (from
+Hard+Soft GmBH).
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Start <command>SCSITool</command> and select the disk you want to partition
+(<guimenu>Disk</guimenu> menu, item <guimenuitem>select</guimenuitem>).
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+From the <guimenu>Partition</guimenu> menu, select either
+<guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem> to add new partitions or change the
+existing partition sizes, or <guimenuitem>Change</guimenuitem> to
+change one specific partition.  Unless you have already created
+partitions with the right sizes and only want to change the partition
+ID, <guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem> is probably the best choice.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+For the <guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem> choice, select
+<guilabel>existing</guilabel> in the dialog box
+prompting the initial settings. The next window shows a list of
+existing partitions which you can adjust using the scroll buttons, or
+by clicking in the bar graphs. The first column in the partition list
+is the partition type; just click on the text field to edit it.  When
+you are finished changing partition settings, save the changes by
+leaving the window with the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+For the <guimenuitem>Change</guimenuitem> option, select the partition
+to change in the selection list, and select <guilabel>other
+systems</guilabel> in the dialog box.  The 
+next window lists detailed information about the location of this
+partition, and lets you change the partition ID.  Save changes by
+leaving the window with the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button.

+
+Quit <command>SCSITool</command> using the
+<guimenuitem>Quit</guimenuitem> item from the <guimenu>File</guimenu>
+menu.  The computer will reboot to make sure the changed partition
+table is used by TOS. If you changed any TOS/GEM partitions, they will
+be invalidated and have to be reinitialized (we told you to back up
+everything on the disk, didn't we?).
+

+</orderedlist>

+
+There is a partitioning tool for Linux/m68k called
+<command>atari-fdisk</command> in the installation system, but for now we
+recommend you partition your disk using a TOS partition editor or some
+disk tool. If your partition editor doesn't have an option to edit the
+partition type, you can do this crucial step at a later stage (from
+the booted temporary install RAMdisk).  <command>SCSITool</command> is only
+one of the partition editors we know of which supports selection of
+arbitrary partition types. There may be others; select the tool that
+suits your needs.

+  <sect2 arch="m68k"><title>Partitioning in MacOS</title>
+<para>
+
+Partitioning tools for Macintosh tested include <command>pdisk</command>,
+<command>HD SC Setup</command> 7.3.5 (Apple), <command>HDT</command> 1.8 (FWB),
+<command>SilverLining</command> (LaCie), and <command>DiskTool</command> (Tim
+Endres, GPL). Full versions are required for <command>HDT</command> and
+<command>SilverLining</command>. The Apple tool requires a patch in order
+to recognize third-party disks (a description on how to patch <command>HD
+SC Setup</command> using <command>ResEdit</command> can be found at 
+<ulink url="http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/patch.html"></ulink>).
+
+</para><para>
+
+For IDE based Macs, you need to use <command>Apple Drive Setup</command> to create
+empty space for the Linux partitions, and complete the partitioning under
+Linux, or use the MacOS version of pdisk available from the MkLinux FTP
+server.
