Description Stuart Longland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-07 15:05:02 UTC 
Since arcload 0.5, it is necessary to set the OSLoadPartition variable so that it points to the partition containing arc.cf.  The partition can be either the volume header (partition 8), or an EXT2/3 partition.

This patch updates this section of the guide.

A heads up: I also have an update for the hardware compatibility list that is presently hosted on my webserver at home -- with the introduction of PHP capability on woodpecker, it's possible for that site to be hosted on my devspace.  As soon as I've got everything working, I shall be back here to provide an updated link. ;-)
