Installing the TurboLinux V6.0 Distribution 4-11

4.6 Creating and Editing the BSD Disklabels

To boot Linux from a disk using SRM, a disklabel is required. A disklabel is a

partition table. The standard disklabels used by Linux are DOS partition

tables. However, the SRM console’s boot sector format overlaps with parts of

the DOS partition table on disk, and therefore DOS partition tables cannot be

used with SRM.

To boot Linux from a disk using SRM, a BSD disklabel is required. The SRM’s

boot block does not conflict with the BSD disklabel. In fact, the BSD disklabel

resides entirely within reserved areas of the first sector.

The TurboLinux V6.0 installation can create the BSD disklabels through the

fdisk utility. The distribution manually asks to installs and to configure aboot,

the boot program for installing Linux when using SRM. The distribution also

adds a configuration file, aboot.conf, for aboot that simplifies the installation

process.

After booting, the installation program displays the language screen. Select the

language and then press Enter to continue with the installation. When

prompted to enter the Extra Hardware Floppy, select “skip” and continue with

the installation.

NOTE: If you wish to install the X Window System, the Elsa Gloria card has 8

MB of video RAM available (8192 kilobytes). It uses the 3Dlabs

Permedia2 (generic driver). See the TurboLinux installation guide for

details.
