While Googling to research the question of whether or not Partition 
Magic worked with Mac file systems (or had a Mac version), I 
encountered several how-to articles referring to using Partition 
Magic to create partitions to dual-boot OS X on an Intel box.

My understanding is that lilo (the Linux boot loader) takes this for 
granted, and is used to launch Linux even in the absence of an 
alternate boot OS. Back in the early days of Win95, I saw people dual 
booting DOS 6.x and Win95 (dunno why they were doing that, though -- 
made no sense to me at the time and makes less sense to me now, given 
that every DOS program I ever encountered worked just fine in a Win95 
DOS box).
