From hb-install-alpha-disk.xml >> For instance, to have the root partition (/dev/sda2 in our example) in ext4, >> you would use: >> Code Listing 5.1: Applying a filesystem on a partition >> # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 If user choose SRM variant, all is OK, root is /dev/sda2. But if user choose ARC/AlphaBIOS variant, /dev/sda2 is Linux SWAP, not root partition. Same thing till end - swap not always /dev/sda1, mounting not always /dev/sda2 and so on. Reproducible: Always
Small addition: in this file, near the end, in section of mounting, code listing "Mounting partitions" need to be changed to "Mounting partitiON" as only one root partition is mounted (although user can mount more than one if he does not use default partition scheme)
With the move to the wiki, I updated the use of root partitions. For some architectures I can't do anything except pick one (some architectures have different root partition selections based on the underlying platform) but in general it should be corrected.
