Description Guy Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-12 17:10:53 UTC 
The partition example show /dev/sda1 as the boot partition and so on.
I would be better to have boot being /dev/sda2, and the rest following. Because /dev/sda1 should be the palo partition.

Also, many users forget about the boot partition and have to reinstall because of there broken partition layout.
The sentence "Also, if your disk is larger than 2Gb, make sure that the boot partition is in the first 2Gb of your disk. PALO is unable to read a kernel after the 2Gb limit." should be hilighted in red IMHO.
