I'm using Gentoox Loader which is Cromwell derived but it shouldn't matter. I'm using the XBE version as well so there's no need to flash any bios.
In my x-dsl remake thread at
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=713355, I attempted to make x-dsl work with the xbpartitioner partitions after F/G, ie hda57+. I cannot recall the details now but

http://web.archive.org/web/20081011162714/...ki/Partitioning should get things going.
Also take a look at this archived post,

sector 0 and sector 1 on the hard disk (esp for Torne Wuff)

I am thinking of using the hda=remap option in my linuxboot.cfg in order
to obtain that wonderous thing: co-existing ext2/3 and fatx F: partition
tables using a 2.6.x kernel on my 80gb drive.
AFAIK the remap option just maps anything on sector 1 to where it would
be on sector 0. This leaves sector 0 free to hold the LBA48 patched
partition table used by xbpartitioner which I can create a "dead" space
where the linux partition is and use the rest for fatx. Everywhere I
read tells me the xbox ms kernel doesn't use sector 0 but nowhere tells
me if it uses sector 1 in any way.
I don't want to ruin my current xbox games setup though so I want to
know does the xbox use sector 1 for any purpose whatsoever?
For Torne Wuff - due to your knowledge about oz_paulb's partition table
and your interest in porting it to kernel 2.6.x you seemed the person to
ask. I hope you don't mind.
Thanks to anyone for any help.
Any resizing of f is destructive on the data in the partition.
I'll deposit a file dump to sourceforge of my work at the next logical milestone if anybody else wants to have a go at it as well.
