Ok since going manual I choosed to partition the free space left
in the original configuration. The installer warned me that
booting from an extended partition might not work.
On reboot I tried :
load /dev/fs/ext2Xwd0c/boot/vmlinux-2.6.27.1-yeeloong
(s/X/@/g)
but it said "Undefined error: 0".
What boot command should I use?
Is PMON able to list the partitions and list the content
of a subdirectory on a partition?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent
