I installed Xebian and specified the option to install to the upper 2Gb
using native Linux partitions. It automagically created /dev/hda1
(swap) and /dev/hda2 (root). The original FATX partitions show up as
/dev/hda50 and up but are not listed in the partition table. I'm
assuming that the xbeboot loader and xbox kernel patches configure the
system to use an alternate partition table in a place where the XBox
operating system won't notice it, and the block device knows to look in
the original XBox partition table when referencing the other device
nodes.
Here's what 'fdisk -l' says:
Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 10.0 GB, 10005037056 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19386 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 15510 16006 250000+ 1 FAT12
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 * 16006 19386 1704007+ 83 Linux
I have no idea why it says the swap partition is a FAT12 partition, but
it doesn't seem to affect the system operation at all.
