Chapter 1 is all intro crap I read it and now I'm proceeding to Chapter 2

Creating a new Partition
fdisk /dev/hda
swap partition => /dev/hda2
fdisk commands run:
n => new partition
p => primary partition
Partition #3 to avoid partitions 1 and 2 already made
using default first cylinder 327
using default last cyl 1582
Done
New LFS partition => /dev/hda3

Creating a file system
I went with ext2 to start. I plan on upgrading it to ext3 later after the kernel is all setup.
mke2fs /dev/hda3
I got an error about device size being 0. It says reboot or re-load the partition table.

HA HA I didn't save the partition table
