Hello=0A=0AI'm making a dual-boot Mac mini G4 (PowerPC) which will boot Fre= eBSD PPC and Linux Ubuntu 10.10 PPC=0A=0A=0ATo achieve that, I create parti= tions for both the OSes. 7 partitions for FreeBSD , 3 partitions for Ubuntu= .=0A=0A7 partitions for FreeBSD is roughly: 800~1024K apple-boot, 1G /, 1G = FreeBSD SWAP, 600M /tmp, 600M /var, 6G /usr, 600M /home=0A=0A3 partitions f= or Linux is roughly: 800~1024K apple-boot, 8G /, 1G SWAP=0A=0AIt looks roug= hly like that: http://f1302.hizliresim.com/16/f/k2fqu.jpg =0A=0A=0AThe prob= lem is, the apple-boot partitions must have some free space before them (25= K~1M in size) in order to be detected by Ubuntu Install (or Linux GParted f= or the same matter)=0A=0A=0AIf there's no such space before apple boot bloc= ks, Ubuntu Install cannot see the partitions thereby making the installatio= n of Ubuntu impossible.=0A=0AThe question is how can I properly add such fr= ee space using FreeBSD gpart? Or using any other partitioning tool? =0A=0A= =0AAnd advice is appreciated, thanks.=0A From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Feb 14 18:35:27 2013 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 76857CE2 for <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org>; Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:35:27 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from bu7cher@yandex.ru) Received: from forward19.mail.yandex.net (forward19.mail.yandex.net [IPv6:2a02:6b8:0:1402::4]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C0FC652 for <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org>; Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:35:27 +0000 (UTC) Received: from smtp18.mail.yandex.net (smtp18.mail.yandex.net [95.108.252.18]) by forward19.mail.yandex.net (Yandex) with ESMTP id 55C0C1122272; Thu, 14 Feb 2013 22:35:24 +0400 (MSK) Received: from smtp18.mail.yandex.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by smtp18.mail.yandex.net (Yandex) with ESMTP id 2ACA418A0141; Thu, 14 Feb 2013 22:35:24 +0400 (MSK) Received: from v10-164-220.yandex.net (v10-164-220.yandex.net [84.201.164.220]) by smtp18.mail.yandex.net (nwsmtp/Yandex) with ESMTP id ZN7qtj7R-ZN7q5YZU; Thu, 14 Feb 2013 22:35:24 +0400 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=yandex.ru; s=mail; t=1360866924; bh=ilCJOLlOB8tu3fTOmCr487ZnM0OdanDXrYxspX0ORGc=; h=Message-ID:Date:From:User-Agent:MIME-Version:To:CC:Subject: References:In-Reply-To:X-Enigmail-Version:Content-Type: Content-Transfer-Encoding; b=hVckBVILFyC05Hp+MeIO08vN7wK6TQVsYYQlF63O3XSpoI+2jPFBG7c5kgxtQTJZY rMaKIgU1i6Qm1N1aQVvSmDeWsbNsK3ifoK4ZWZfWYWzw6D1MGVfdEooNZBjBSWZP5u R2jALa6uDNBtLR+5Nx/vlhDJcW46ukp41vpGNHeU= Message-ID: <511D2E19.6020809@yandex.ru> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 22:34:01 +0400 From: "Andrey V.

Or using any other partitioning tool? You can use "-b start_offset" parameter in the gpart(8): # gpart create -s apm ad0 # gpart add -t apple-boot -b 64 -s 800k ad0 -- WBR, Andrey V. Elsukov
