9
The <application>Apple Drive Setup</application> application can be found in the
10
<filename>Utilities</filename> folder on the MacOS CD. It will not adjust existing
11
partitions; it is limited to partitioning the entire disk at once. The
12
disk driver partitions don't show up in <application>Drive Setup</application>.
16
Remember to create a placeholder partition for GNU/Linux, preferably
17
positioned first in the disk layout. it doesn't matter what type it
18
is, it will be deleted and replaced later inside the &debian; installer.
22
If you are planning to install both MacOS 9 and OS X, it is best to
23
create separate partitions for OS 9 and OS X. If they are installed on
24
the same partition, <application>Startup Disk</application> (and reboot) must be used to select
25
between the two; the choice between the two systems can't be made at
26
boot time. With separate partitions, separate options for OS 9 and OS
27
X will appear when holding the <keycap>option</keycap> key at boot time, and separate
28
options can be installed in the <application>yaboot</application> boot menu as well. Also,
29
Startup Disk will de-bless all other mountable partitions, which can
30
affect GNU/Linux booting. Both OS 9 and OS X partitions will be
31
accessible from either OS 9 or OS X.
35
GNU/Linux is unable to access information on UFS partitions, but does
36
support HFS+ (aka MacOS Extended) partitions. OS X requires one of these
37
two types for its boot partition. MacOS 9 can be installed on either HFS
38
(aka MacOS Standard) or HFS+. To share information between the MacOS and
39
GNU/Linux systems, an exchange partition is handy. HFS, HFS+ and MS-DOS FAT
40
partitions are supported by both MacOS and Linux.
