The documentation about using the boot disk is apparently incomplete. http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/parted_8.htmlI was following it, and successfully wrote a boot diskette of partboot.img using a DOS diskette writer.
When trying to boot from it, it expects some *second* disk. The documentation fails to mention it, as well as how to create it.
I have found the needed file, and after some trying around i have figured out that it has to be written raw on a diskette - although it's named .gz and not .img - and not put on any sort of FS, be it DOS or EXT2. This is all less than obvious.
Thanks. -eye
