33 | <para>On a Cobalt RaQ2/Cube2 we use the existing firmware for a boot loader, |
---|
34 | it requires an <systemitem class="filesystem">ext2</systemitem> revision 0 |
---|
35 | partition to boot from. So here is the recommended partition for a Cobalt |
---|
36 | RaQ2/Cube2 system:</para> |

38 | <itemizedlist> |
---|
39 | <listitem> |
---|
40 | <para>The first partition should be 50-100 MB.</para> |
---|
41 | </listitem> |
---|
42 | <listitem> |
---|
43 | <para>The second partition should be all the remaining space minus the |
---|
44 | amount of RAM in the system.</para> |
---|
45 | </listitem> |
---|
46 | <listitem> |
---|
47 | <para>The third partition is going to be your swap partition, which will |
---|
48 | be the same amount as the RAM installed in the system.</para> |
