As the instructions clearly say, the partions have to start on cylinder boundaries, in order for the PROM to be able to boot. On your disk, a cylinder is 16065 sectors (that's 8032.5 Kbytes), and your partition sizes are not a multiple of that, so it can't work that way. Basically, you can't use "M", "G", "%" or "*" for the size column (except maybe for the last partition, but I haven't tried that). Although you can (and should) use "*" for the offset column. In your case, I'd suggest the following: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 819315 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 b: 2104515 * swap c: * 0 unused e: 4176900 * 4.2BSD f: 4176900 * 4.2BSD g: * * 4.2BSD That will end up to have about the partition sizes you want.
