The disk utility that comes with Tiger? It looks like it wants to
format both partitions at once, whatever OS I choose. I've renames
the partitions, but when I chose "erase" all I get is something that
looks like it wants to do the whole drive--not the individual
partition name.
You should see two drive icons in the panel on the left; one a
device and one a logical volume (whose icon is indented from the
device icon). Click on the device icon. Then you'll see a "partition"
tab on the right. Now if you select two logical volumes you should be
able to format them with different file systems.
