Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
Authored by: atverd on Jun 18, '03 01:52:38AM

Can't help with that, sorry. The problem is in Open Firmware, it doesn't recognize MBR-kind (aka fdisk aka msdos aka windows type) partitions, so doesn't want to load BootX from it, even if file system there is HFS+. yaboot might be able to load OS X from such partition, but I don't know how to make it work this way. I'll try to figure out, though.

So far I had created bootable CD with BootCD tool and keep it with me all the time, so in case of troubles I could boot from it and restore system from backup.
