I think you'll see that the OS X installer will not give you the opportunity to install on any partition outside the first 8 GB. Partition the first 8 GB any way you want to, but your boot system must reside on a partition wholly within the first 8 GB. Said another way, any boot system on a partition that strays beyond the first 8 GB will not be recognized as a valid start-up system. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.
