What this means is that you can create a small /boot partition
at the front of the disk, and then create as many other partitions
as you want. Other than the palo limit, which only affects the partition
you boot from, the partitions can be > 2Gb.
However, the other thing to be aware of is that the Fast Wide SCSI
Is not yet supported (at least last time I checked) on the 735. The
SE SCSI adapter will work though.
