OpenSSI doesn't do "partitions".

What you get with OpenSSI:

You take a bunch of PC, with various hardware bits (serial ports, USB 
devices, video cards, disks and so on), you connect 'em all together 
with a gigabit ethernet LAN, you run an OpenSSI kernel on 'em all  and 
bingo!  You have one big machine.  Any process runnning on any "node" 
(those PCs) can access the hardware on any other nodes.  Processes can 
be transparently moved from node to node and can start children on any 
node they want.  If you configure things right you can arrange that the 
cluster keeps running even if a node crashes.

That's it.
