The partitions for installing Linux/APUS should be created using HDToolBox which is included in Amiga DOS since version 2.x. You need at least two partitions, one for SWAP (as big as your memory is) and one for ROOT. You have to set the advanced options using HDToolBox to ON and set the filesystem type to "CUSTOM FILE SYSTEM", the identifier has to be set as follows:
0x4c4e5800 (LNX/0) For all major Linux partitions.
0x53575000 (SWP/0) For the swap partition.
You can also set "Reserved Blocks at" to 0 for both beginning and end, but this should not be necessary.
