BTW, i have another question. I am trying to fix debian-installer to
create the prep partition, but i would like to have some info on the
expected constraints of said partition. Some tell it has to be entirely
in the first 8MB, others the first 5MB, and my powerstack has a 17MB
boot partition right now.

All I can say, it's that my boot PReP partition is the 1st and about 4 MB
in size (cannot size it less than 1% of the disk.....)
second partition is /
third is swap.

BTW, for debian, it makes more sense to have the second partition as swap,
and the third as /, i think, since it was decided some time back to default
to root=/dev/sda3, and not sda2.

Yes, I did that on my two 150.

That works for me.

Until the kernel grows beyond 4MB.
