Anyone seen this problem?
I'm trying to install Debian on a beige (OldWorld) PowerMac G3. I have
OSX on the first partition, OS9 on the second partition, a third small
HFS partition for BootX, and then free space.

I suggest to use a partition manager (that run under Dos) and I found on
net recently (I haven't really try it, just a look, because my PC is

It has a boot manager too and can create Extend and swa

Debian, since I don't have hardware to experiment with. I've only
installed on three or four different computers. (quite a few times,
but only on those few machines.)

to standard translation, rather than to LBA or Large.

I had the same problem when I partitioned a large disk. I particular I was
partitioning it into several logical partitions on the outer-most part
of the disk. "cfdisk" di
