Is this how i should mnt the filesytem,
mke2fs /dev/hda1
mke2fs -j /dev/hda3
I do have the manual but i am finding it a challenge,do i have to mount the swap along with the root and boot or just activate it. |

you do:
| Code: |
mke2fs /dev/hda1 (ext2)
mke2fs -j /dev/hda3 (ext3)
mkswap /dev/hda2 (swap)
|
then
| Code: |
swapon /dev/hda2 (activate swap)
mount:
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cd /mnt/gentoo
|
so in other words, you just activate swap because it doesnt actually mount hope this helps

What you've quoted isn't how to mount the filesystem, but rather to make it. Once made, it must then be mounted, for example:
| Code: | | mount /dev/hda1 /boot |
This will mount your newly created ext3 filesystem to / and your newly created ext2 filesystem to /boot.
As for swap space, that should be made like this:
And then activated/deactivated like this:
Don't forget to put these mountpoints into /etc/fstab (as described in the manual) because then the filesystems, and swap, will be mounted/activated on boot.
Hope this helps,

The 2005.0 Handbook offers the caveat,
| Quote: | | Warning: Due to a bug in the e2fsprogs package, you need to explicitly use the mount -t ext3 option if you are using an ext3 filesystem. |
It says you should use,
| Code: | | mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo |

you can't name a partion when you create it you just partion the harddisk then mount the partions and they are linked to a directory
