# Creating a New Partition

On a Cobalt RaQ2/Cube2 we use the existing firmware for a boot loader, it requires an `ext2` revision 0 partition to boot from. So here is the recommended partition for a Cobalt RaQ2/Cube2 system:

- The first partition should be 50-100 MB.

- The second partition should be all the remaining space minus the amount of RAM in the system.

- The third partition is going to be your swap partition, which will be the same amount as the RAM installed in the system.
