I tried again and was successful. Using Knoppix I created four partitions with fdisk on an external FireWire drive (/dev/sda). They had partition ids of HPFS/NTFS (7), Linux (83), W95 FAT32 (b), and Darwin UFS (a8). Creating the filesystems: mkntfs -f -L ntfs /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext3 -L ext3 /dev/sda2 mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n fat32 /dev/sda3 I formated the last partition under OS X as HFS+ using DiskUtility. I chose the drive and last partition (/dev/disk1s4), Erase, and Mac OS (journaled). This time DiskUtility didn't mess up the disk. Linux can r/w ext3 and vfat, read-only ntfs, but cannot read HFS+. Windows can r/w ntfs and vfat, read-only ext3 (sort of)[1], but cannot read HFS+. OS X can r/w HFS+ and vfat and read-only ntfs and ext3 [1].
