WRT where/how to partition your 8GB disk, here's the results of
an fdisk off my Lib70 running Debian Slink w/upgrades/patches.
This is a 6.5GB Hitachi DK239A-65. For disks of this size or
less, I stick the hibernation space either at the end of the
disk or right up against the 8GB boundary if the disk is 8GB or
bigger.
As has been mentioned often here before, there really is no
such thing as a suspend partition per se. The system will write
there whether you make a partition there or not. The real point
of it all is so that you will remember to shuffle your data/software
around that part of the disk.
sh-2.02# fdisk
Using /dev/hda as default device!
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 789 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

JIC you hadn't guessed, the CP/M partition is it.
