Recently i've been reinstalling my nwsp1 from scratch with the fvdw-sl-10-1 base release.
Recreating the partitions (as describded in the pdf) is easy as a piece of cake, but peoples could get stuck with this surprisingly new fdisk display method (at least to me):
- Code: Select all
Command (m for help): n
Partition type:
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
e extended
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-488397167, default 2048):
Your HOWTO talks about cylinders, but some recent fdisk uses different units. here's the reason :
- Code: Select all
WARNING: cylinders as display units are deprecated. Use command 'u' to
change units to sectors.
so in order to be able to work with cylinders again, i issued the following command :
- Code: Select all
sudo fdisk -u=cylinders /dev/sda
that's it, have a nice day :-D
