I'm using the 20130207 install iso. This is to enable me to get a |
| 2 |
*REALLY* predictable NIC name, namely eth0, but I digress. The 2 |
| 3 |
warnings I get are... |

I've repartitioned it 3 or 4 times, but it still comes up with that |
| 10 |
error when I fire up fdisk. Is it a problem, and if so, can I dd a few |
| 11 |
sectors to remove whatever it's complaining about? |

The fdisk "p" command gives the following output header |

The fdisk default seems to be to start partition 1 at sector 2048. I |
| 28 |
don't know the hardware side of disks. Is that OK. |
