Those installation instructions are ancient, so I don't recommend following them. You should let the installer partition your hard disk, just let the Amiga create the the affs partitions. > It looks like the kernel can identify correctly my partition scheme as seen > in [2] > and... although the partitioner tool in the installer recognizes the harddisk > at > /dev/hda, it is not able to identify any existing partitions, as seen in [3].

I have no clue though what the issue is, I would have to reproduce this issue myself. > Some additional information: > * Harddisk size: 32 GB > - /dev/hda1 AFFS - 518 MB > - /dev/hda2 AFFS - 12 GB > - /dev/hda3 LNX\0 - 8 GB > - /dev/hda4 SWP\0 - 512 MB > - /dev/hda5 NBR\0 - 8 GB > - /dev/hda6 NBS\0 - 512 MB > * Emulated Amiga: 1200 > * ROM: 3.2 (the new one from Hyperion) I don't know whether there are any compatibility issues with ROM version 3.2 as it has never been tested. Although I have these ROM versions myself in my storage place. FWIW, I never personally had success installing Debian on UAE but I haven't tested that for a while. Adrian -- .''`.
