Subject: hard disks From: Patrick L. McGillan <pmcgilla@hp.uwsuper.edu> Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1991 8:33:57 CST
Hello,
I reckon the most important part of getting linux up is to use anything
other than HD partitions hd0 & hd5. After I reread the stuff I had, I
found that either one will destroy the partition table and linux will
not boot with out a valid partition table and a fs on it. So after
putting back the partition table with a 4 part partition and one
defined for the disk, I used the minix demo disk to place a fs on
hd1. After that things are working great.
