PALO, the HPPA boot loader, requires a partition of type <quote>F0</quote> somewhere
|
| 9 |
in the first 2GB. This is where the boot loader and an optional kernel
|
| 10 |
and RAMdisk will be stored, so make it big enough for that -- at least
|
| 11 |
4Mb (I like 8-16Mb). An additional requirement of the firmware is that
|
| 12 |
the Linux kernel must reside within the first 2GB of the disk. This
|
| 13 |
is typically achieved by making the root ext2 partition fit entirely
|
| 14 |
within the first 2GB of the disk. Alternatively you can create a small
|
| 15 |
ext2 partition near the start of the disk and mount that on
|
| 16 |
<filename>/boot</filename>, since that is the directory where the Linux
|
| 17 |
kernel(s) will be stored. <filename>/boot</filename> needs to be big enough
|
| 18 |
to hold whatever kernels you might wish load; 8-16MB is generally
|
| 19 |
sufficient.
