here the hole story: first i format the disk under macOS, with the 6 gb HFS partiton and the other empty, so the driver partitions are present.
then i booted and started the installation, during the insallation i had the idee that i musst make a /boot partition, becaus you never now about this 1024 sector thing. (on the beige G3 it is anyway not possible to boot directly from harddsik). i deleted the HFS partion, created the small (20MB) /boot and the rest as HFS again. i dident see the HFS under macOS, so i started hard disk tool,the only thing i could do was delete the partition: so the it look now like: /dev/hdc1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/hdc2 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 54 @ 64 ( 27.0k) Unknown /dev/hdc3 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 74 @ 118 ( 37.0k) Unknown /dev/hdc4 Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 192 (256.0k) Unknown /dev/hdc5 Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 704 (256.0k) Unknown /dev/hdc6 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 ext2 40960 @ 1216 ( 20.0M) Linux native /dev/hdc7 Apple_Free Extra 12247040 @ 42176 ( 5.8G) Free space --------------------------^ /dev/hdc8 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 819200 @ 12289216 (400.0M) Linux swap /dev/hdc9 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 ext2 227013302 @ 13108416 (108.2G) Linux native /dev/hdc10 Apple_Free Extra 10 @ 240121718 ( 5.0k) Free space im talking about /dev/hdc7 > I've done that a thousand times, and there's nothing wrong with it - > MacOS has accepted it every time how did you do that ? with fdisk and then option -C and as type Apple_HFS. is it not possible to destroy the whole partitions ? thanks a lot martin On Tue, 2003-01-14 at 14:47, Derrik Pates wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2003 at 12:49:50PM +0100, martin krung wrote: > > hi debian on powerpc user > > > > i installed debian on my beige G3, no problem till now: > > > > i have 2 disk, one untouched, with an Mac0S 9, and the other with debian > > and an HFS partiton on it. i boot with bootX over the MacOS > > > > now my problem: i want to have a 6 GB hfs partition on the second disk. > > the partiton exist allready, the type is Apple_HFS, i created it with > > fdisk, although its not recommeded in the installation manual. > > > > I've done that a thousand times, and there's nothing wrong with it - > MacOS has accepted it every time.
