Ok...so Im setting up Gentoo. Im a noobie, but I have a friend to help and a VERY good guide.
In the guide, It tells me to partition. I partition just as it tells me to. Viola, Its partitioned. Then, it tells me how it is sposed to look. Just to be sure I did it right, since this is my first time touching Gentoo, I check it out.
In the guide, it says it should look like:
| Code: |
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3876 cylinders
Units=cylinders of 15120 * 512=7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 15 81 506520 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 82 3876 28690200 83 Linux

Well, odd....mine looks more like:
| Code: |
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 4321 MB, 4321787904 bytes bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 525 cylinders
Units=cylinders of 16065 * 512=8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 68 506047+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 69 525 367052+ 83 Linux

Seems okay to me ...
The example from the howto and yours just differ in the size of harddisks. They use a 30G hd and yours is just 4G "big". So Start, End and Blocks must be different. Everything's fine ... just go on installing. |
