I had some problems with fdisk when I first tried to parition the disk. This is what my partition looks like:
Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 5 heads, 104 sectors, 4019 cylinders Units = cylinders of 520 * 512 bytes ----- partitions ----- Device Info Start End Sectors Id System /dev/sda1 boot 101 3820 1934400 83 Linux native /dev/sda2 swap 3821 3980 83200 82 Linux swap /dev/sda9 0 100 52520 0 SGI volhdr /dev/sda11 0 3980 2069785 6 SGI volume ----- bootinfo ----- Bootfile: /linux ----- directory entries ----- 0: sgilabel sector 4 size 512 1: sash sector 5 size 140800 2: ide sector 280 size 980992 3: linux sector 2196 size 2636202 I actually created the swap partition first and then the main linux partition. Then I changed the volume header size. I used the following website as a guide for the install: http://www.stafwag.f2s.com/indy/?lang=eng Hope this helps. john On Tue, 14 Aug 2001, Krzysztof Krzyzaniak wrote: > Installing debian on Indy (part II) ;-) > > booting is successful, intaller is starting, and now I want to partitiong > disc (it's clean).
