Problem with new partition table

Problem with new partition table

Postby radgravity » Sat Oct 29, 2011 9:40 am

Hi, this looks like a amazing firmware that i'm looking forward to use. But i have a problem when installing it.

When i'm suppose to create the first new partition i get to this point in the instructions:
Code: Select all
first cylinder 1-121601, default 1): 
type 1 behind it and hit enter


I don't get this options, instead i get:
Code: Select all
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector: (2048-1953525167, default 2048):


How to switch from sectors to cylinders? What am i doing wrong?

seems you using am Ubuntu version of fdisk

To change to cylinders in fdisk type the command "u" (without the quotes) in fdisk
If you type "u" again it will switch to sectors again
