Yes.

But I have a Jensen,too, and I'm trying to install
Linux-Alpha. I have one SCSI disk and one floppy drive.
You know, Jensen requies booting from hard disks.
In this case, it must write bootloader at head of SCSI disk.

So, if I use fdisk partition and write bootloader, maybe
partition table is overwritten by bootloader.

Please tell me how to install with one hard disk and one
floppy drive.
