With the first-generation G3 Macs, there were some drive addressing
problems that prevented it to boot from OSX if it wasn't on the first
8Gb of the disk. This is my understanding of it, I may be wrong about
why, but those models definitely have that restriction. I *think* it
was only the G3 minitower, the G3 desktop, and maybe the Bondi iMac.
If the HD is under 8Gb, then there's no problem.

Do "they" say why you should partition. Because for me the only
reason I've found to partition is for multiple OSes (OS X,
Linux,...). I put X and 9 and the same partition.
