i'd probably start with the guided partitioning and modify from
there to your own needs. A bootable setup looks like this in my
case, with sda2 being "/":
host:/# sfdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 36864 cylinders, 64 heads, 32 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 36864/64/32).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 0+ 0 1- 8001 41 PPC PReP Boot
/dev/sda2 1 122 122 979965 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 123 4698 4576 36756720 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
Is yours a LPARed environment with disks mapped from VIO servers,
or are the disks real physical ones?
Best regards,
