Comments/Problems:
I didn't remember that I had to create the partitions from last to
first, I'm pretty sure I didn't do that when I installed woody on the
machine a year ago. Anyway, I eventually figured out and partitioned
the disk. Had to create an SGI disklabel on it, as it comes from a PC.
Disappointment : no XFS support :(((((
The bootloader installation went fine, but, unfortunately, it doesn't
handle a separate /boot partition, so the machine couldn't reboot.
I had to boot into the installer, and copy /etc/arcboot.conf to
/boot/etc/arcboot.conf, then set OSLoadPartition to the correct value
for /boot.
Everything else went fine. Now this machine will be really useful,
with a little bit more disk space (and less noise) :-)
JB.
