This is for a hard drive installation, not USB stick.
--- parted /dev/sda -s print ---
Model: ATA FUJITSU MHW2040A (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 20.5kB 25.0MB 25.0MB fat32 primary boot
2 25.0MB 50.0MB 25.0MB hfs+ primary
3 50.0MB 75.0MB 25.0MB hfs+ primary
4 75.0MB 575MB 500MB ext3 primary
7 575MB 15.0GB 14.4GB ext4 primary
5 15.0GB 38.9GB 23.9GB ext3 primary
6 38.9GB 40.0GB 1108MB linux-swap(v1) primary
--------------------------------
Mind you, the 5th partition is labeled #7 because #4 was originally much
larger. However, I shrunk it to seperate out /boot and allow me to have /
formatted as ext4. I'm not sure why I cared enough about ext4 to want to try
it... but, there it is.
Here are the relative parts of my mount map:
--- mount ---
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sda4 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /exports type ext3 (rw)
-------------
Finally, my mocked up /boot/grub/menu.lst
--- /boot/grub/menu.lst ---
default 0
title ATV
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic
root=UUID=80eafeb1-c04a-4f6aab43-a0047fd0f1a2 ro quiet splash
processor.max_cstate=2
---------------------------
Hope this helps.
