Hello I'm making a dual-boot Mac mini G4 (PowerPC) which will boot FreeBSD PPC and Linux Ubuntu 10.10 PPC To achieve that, I create partitions for both the OSes. 7 partitions for FreeBSD , 3 partitions for Ubuntu. 7 partitions for FreeBSD is roughly: 800~1024K apple-boot, 1G /, 1G FreeBSD SWAP, 600M /tmp, 600M /var, 6G /usr, 600M /home 3 partitions for Linux is roughly: 800~1024K apple-boot, 8G /, 1G SWAP It looks roughly like that: http://f1302.hizliresim.com/16/f/k2fqu.jpg The problem is, the apple-boot partitions must have some free space before them (25K~1M in size) in order to be detected by Ubuntu Install (or Linux GParted for the same matter) If there's no such space before apple boot blocks, Ubuntu Install cannot see the partitions thereby making the installation of Ubuntu impossible. The question is how can I properly add such free space using FreeBSD gpart? Or using any other partitioning tool? And advice is appreciated, thanks.

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. Elsukovhelp
