4.2.4 Creating a Linux Partition on the DiskOnChip

To create a Linux partition on the DiskOnChip, all the DOS partitions on the DiskOnChip need to be removed and a Linux partition with the native Linux File system [ext2] needs to be created.

1.Run the fdisk utility.

# fdisk /dev/fla

Note: You may create more than one primary partition. Just make sure that the boot flag of the main partition boot is active.

Note: For further information on the fdisk utility, refer to the man pages.

2.Display the contents of the partition table:

Command(m for help):p

3.Delete all existing partitions, enter each partition number for deletion:

Command(m for help):d

4.Create a new Linux native partition:

Command(m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4)p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-XXX): 1

Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK ([1] XXX):XXX

5.Change the type of the partition to Linux native:

Command (m for help): t

Partition number (1-4): 1

Hex code (type L to list codes): 83

6.Make the partition bootable:

Command (m for help): a
