hello,
I would like to create a large number of partitions.
how to do it ?
I need to create something like 16 partitions on a disk.
I tryed and after the 7th partition the dev is assigned to
/dev/X

looks like I cannot create more than 8 partitions at boot time on a single 
disk.
how to overcome this problem ?
thanks

Rick
