 Works great w/FreeBSD.  It's partitioned like so:
 
 Offset   Size(ST)End Name  PType   Desc  Subtype

  0 63 62- 12 unused0

 And I'd like to use one of those spare fdisk partitons (not a slice) on my
 OS-X machine for backup purposes.  The fat partition is left over from a
 test to see if a newfs_msdos partition would mount on OS-X (it did).
 Any idea on the partition ID for HFS?
 

While we're talking about Firewire is it possible to have the
firewire enclosure connected to two systems at the same time so you
don't have to go about unplugging and plugging cables?

Assuming that the above can be done, what about simultaenous access
to the device (both systems accessing the device at the same time)?
Will it work if only reads are done?  I won't open the can of worms
of simultaneous write access :-)

Thanks,
Marc

Maybe you are confusing the terms.  fdisk makes slices not partitions.
Within a slice, disklabel makes partitions.   Each of those pieces you
have listed above are slices.  

Since Microsloth calls slices partitions, I am not surprised that
this is confusing.

 From the little info I could find, OS-X/Apple has their own partition
 table in sector 2, which is independant of the normal partition table.
 
 Rather than delve into this further and confuse the issue, I'll leave this
 at Has anyone done this?...
 
 Thanks,
