Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
Authored by: Thorir Jonsson on Mar 07, '05 03:07:21AM

I used this to partition an external USB/Firewire 160Gb disk, creating 109Gb HFS+ and MS-DOS 40 Gb partitions:

diskutil partitionDisk device numberOfPartitions MBRFormat <part1Format part1Name part1Size> <part2Format part2Name part2Size>

and there are no problems with either partition, unless machines running MacOS 9.x do not see the HFS+ partition; they only recognise the DOS partition.
