I think you have to partition with pdisk, fdisk may not write the correct kind of disk label.
I have not been able to use a drive partitioned with fdisk on a Mac.


but still, that would not explain that error. it should say something else, like "corrupt partition table", not what it says...

the system i have doesn't seem to boot from cd.


Even with the "c" key pressed at boot?

tried that.

Some systems/distros need to have the BootX Control Panel set to boot from the CD to work.

i no longer have any kind of macos on the hdd
