- You have not yet designated any disk partitions as Linux native.
-
- If you are planning to use OS/2 Boot Manager, make your Linux
- partitions with OS/2 fdisk, reboot this disk, and then use
- Linux fdisk to tag the partitions as type 83 (Linux native).
- Linux fdisk will select a default device when called without
- arguments, and from there it is menu driven. If you don't want
- to partition the default device, then call fdisk with the device
- you want as the argument, like this:
-
- fdisk /dev/hdb
-
- or this:
-
- fdisk /dev/sda
-
- If you are not using the OS/2 Boot Manager, then you may use Linux
- fdisk to create partitions for Linux. Other than the exception for
- the OS/2 Boot Manager, you are usually better off creating
- partitions for a given OS using a partitioning tool native to that
- OS. In other words, you probably shouldn't try to make your DOS or
- other non-Linux partitions with the Linux fdisk.
-
- Please make one or more partitions for Linux, and try setup again.
- If you haven't already, you might want to also make a swap partition
- while you're in fdisk. 8 megabytes would be a good starting size for
- a single user system. Linux swap is tagged as type 82.
