• Press
Ctrl+Alt+F6
to return to the GUI. Finish the installation by clicking
Reboot.
Note:
Steps 7 and 8 below apply only if your system is booting from a uEFI shell
and your drive has been configured with a uEFI boot setting. If your drive has been
configured for a legacy boot setting, skip these steps. (Except for specific OEMs,
most customer bootable drives are configured with a legacy boot setting, which
means steps 7 and 8 can be skipped.)
7. (uEFI boot only) When the installer reaches the disk partitioning step,
/dev/rssda
must be configured to have a minimum 50MB partition of type EFI (or VFAT).
This partition contains the EFI boot binary. It is recommended that all of the
/dev/
rssdX
drives also be configured with the same size and type (VFAT) partition, even
though the installer will only allow the EFI partition on
/dev/rssda
to be mounted
to
/boot/efi
.
8. (uEFI boot only) Continue the OS installation, but do not reboot when the installa-
tion completes. Before rebooting, perform these steps:
a. Press
Ctrl+Alt+F2
to get to a command prompt.
b. Run the following commands for each drive beyond
/dev/rssda
, replacing X
with the number of the VFAT partition:
parted -s /dev/rssdX toggle 1 boot
dd if=/dev/rssda1 of=/dev/rssdX1
The last command assumes
/dev/rssda1
is the EFI partition that gets moun-
ted to
/boot/efi
. If a different partition is used for EFI, substitute that parti-
tion for
/dev/rssda1
in the above command. Similarly, it assumes the VFAT
partition on the other drives is
/dev/rssdX1
. If a different partition is used for
VFAT on these other drives, make sure to adjust the 1 to reflect the correct
partition number.
c. Press
Ctrl+Alt+F6
to return to the GUI installer and reboot.
9. (Legacy boot only) Continue with the installation until you are prompted for the
type of install.
a. Select
Create Custom Layout
.
The GUI menu displays all storage devices detected by the OS.
b. Locate and select
/dev/rssda
under the
Hard Drive
tab.
c. Click
Create
to create a new partition.
You are prompted to specify the mount point and file system type and size.
• For the mount point, specify:
/
• For the file system, specify:
ext4
Note: ext2
and
ext3
file systems are alternate choices for the file system.
d. Specify
Fixed
for the partition size, and then click
Next.
The
/dev/rssda1
partition should indicate the size and mount point you
specified earlier.
Note:
The actual size of the partition depends on the type of installation. The
installer will notify you if the partition size is too small for the OS installation.
A minimum of 2GB is recommended to install Linux desktop. (Less space is
required for a basic server.) However, it is recommended to double the mini-
mum space requirement to allow space for applications and file storage.
e. Repeat step c but specify
swap
for the file system.
