My G5 has only 5 partitions
Authored by: rae on Nov 18, '03 11:07:11PM
On my G5 I don't have anywhere near as many partitions:
Top level command (? for help): L   
/dev/rdisk0  map block size=512
   #:                 type name                  length   base      ( size )
   1:  Apple_partition_map Apple                     63 @ 1        
   2:           Apple_Free                     41685440 @ 64        ( 19.9G)
   3:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 41685504 
   4:            Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_5 448287088 @ 41947648  (213.8G)
   5:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 490234736

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=490234752
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
I left 20 Gig of space for a Linux install later, which should end up as two partitions replacing the 20 Gig "Apple Free". I am guessing that not supporting Mac OS 9 booting helps keep the number of partitions down?
