[debian-non-standard] information regarding /var/log

[ffw.s at gmx.de]

I set -c0 and -i0, output of fdisk is:

Disk /dev/sdb: 2048 MB, 2048901120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 249 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x3057b56f

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1          65      522081   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb2   *          66         249     1477980   83  Linux

So I think I did everything correct?
Don't know why it does not boot (I think it does not boot as no log file is 
altered...)
