Boot into single user mode of the 2nd CD-ROM of SuSE Linux 6.3 (First CD-ROM
for SuSE 6.2 Linux and below). After you get the system booted from the
CD-ROM and are in a root shell `fdisk` it there, cut it up, make any file
systems you can (ie. ext2), reboot. Cut it up exactly the way you want,
then don't let any other thing mess with it (this includes SuSE and
Solaris).
Does you BIOS support a 40 gig drive? Does it see it correctly in the CMOS?

I've got a 40GB Maxtor UDMA/66 drive that I'm trying to configure with SuSE 6.3 and am not having any success. That maxtor utility is braindead and creates 1 primary partition and everything else is extended. Ranish's partition manager isn't working right either, and hopelessly confuses SuSE's install if I try and do the partitions before. If I don't partition it before hand, SuSE then thinks the drive has 1094 cylinders instead of 5194. Arrgh.
Any ideas. Do I need to wait for Suse 6.4?
This is what I'd like to do:
1 GB / 4 GB win98 8 GB solaris 128 MB swap 128 MB swap 8 GB /usr 2 GB /opt 8 GB /home 4 GB NT <rest> FAT 32
Any suggestions appreciated.
