I forgot how much fun it is to partition harddisks on the Amiga, especially with a semi broken keyboard. I do not have the drivers installed, that can work with disks > 4GB, so I had to partition it blindly: Vendor: ST325062 Model: 0A Rev: 3.AA Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 esp0: target 6 [period 100ns offset 15 10.00MHz FAST SCSI-II] SCSI device sda: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB) Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 31 sectors, 246167 cylinders, RDB: 0 Logical Cylinders from 2 to 246166, 1015808 bytes/Cylinder Device Boot Mount Begin End Size Pri BBlks System /dev/sda1 * * 2 256 252960 0 0 Amiga FFS /dev/sda2 * 257 1056 793600 0 0 Amiga FFS /dev/sda3 * 1057 5284 4194176 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda4 * 5285 9512 4194176 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda5 * 9513 13740 4194176 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda6 * 13741 67649 53477728 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda7 * 67650 244053 174992768 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda8 * 244054 246166 2096096 0 0 Linux native <- this should be swap I installed sarge on it with debootstrap and then upgraded to etch. Did you know that ssh is not installable in etch-m68k? There seems to be no libssl0.96 in etch. I haven't booted into this yet, I need to power down crest to hook up this disk. Now that is has successfully built linux-2.6, could we shut it off for a while? Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
