Hmm, I found the auto partitioning method will simply create /dev/sda1 as /
(Linux Native - type 83), /dev/sda2 as Linux Swap (type 82), and /dev/sda3 as
Whole Disk and I'm unsure of the type right now. I don't particularily care for
a single root partition to hold /usr, /var, and /home... evil. I ended up
partitioning manually making /dev/sda3 first to use the Whole Disk. Then I made
/dev/sda1 as /, /dev/sda2 and Linux Swap, /dev/sda5 as /usr, /dev/sda6 as /var,
and /dev/sda7 as /home. You don't necessarily define them as /, /usr, /var, and
/home at this point... that's done when you Initialize the partitions... after
partitioning. Hopefully someday someone will file a wish-list bug report to
have a more robust auto partitioning scheme. Good luck.

Hi,
I'm trying to install Debian/potato on my Sparcstation 5 / 110 mhz,
I' not very successful, I'm having troubles to get the partition
working ( i had it working erlier but then when I rebooted for the
first time started the system I got too many errors when downloading
pacages, so I was forced to restart and then I had to boot from the
CD again, just to realize that the installation process hangs and now
for the x time I realize that the partitioning wont work it gives me
error messages when I tries to partition sda2, then claimes that it
doesnt know if the /root is at sda1 or not but it so presumes, then
it wont work any more.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestion to what I may do to get it
to work again?
Yours sincerely
