fdisk made the Sun Disk Label. |

/dev/hda2 swap |

Can anyone offer some insight as to what I'm running into here? On a |
43 |
side note I tried Ubuntu Sparc 6.06 that I found and it installed fine |
44 |
and ran fine on the machine but I didn't like it so tried gentoo |
45 |
again. |
46 |
|

Many thanks. |
