Hi, attached are the partition map and the output of parted from etch. Same behavior, print does not recognize it. The Mac OS X version is 10.4.4.

It does if you ask it about it, parted and libparted based tools should handle this just fine. mac-fdisk is kinda obsoleted. > Are you having automatically support for Mac Partition Maps in the Debian > Installer? Sure. But then maybe apple created some bug or incompatiblity with their latest version of mac os x ? Friendly, Sven Luther
