What happens: hda1 is /boot partition max 100 MB type ext2
hda2 is M$ Partition
hda3 is Linux Swap [ reason: have Swap as a
Buffer, because M$ does not always respect linux partition boundaries]
~ all Linux partitions [except /boot ] are Reiser
Partition hda8 is for old M$ junk : FAT
{ personnally, i like CFDISK to make partitions }
