You have not yet designated any disk partitions as type Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are planning to use OS/2 Boot Manager, make your Linux
|
||
|
|
partitions with OS/2 fdisk (or Partition Magic, which also
|
||
|
|
includes Boot Manager), format them, reboot this disk, and then
|
||
|
|
use Linux fdisk to tag the partitions as type 83 (Linux).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"cfdisk" is an equally good version of Linux fdisk that is more
|
||
|
|
graphical and menu driven. Many people prefer to use "cfdisk".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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. 64 megabytes would be a minimum starting size
|
||
|
|
for a single user system. Linux swap is tagged as type 82.
