         <para>Macintoshes use their own partition format - this means that other
         machines are unlikely to be able to read or write to macintosh partitions
         (in particular, fdisk does not understand them). The format allows a large
         number of individual partitions, and the native Mac tools had a tendency
         to insert small "filler" partitions between the real partitions. Under
         linux, using more than 15 partitions can be problematic (shortage of device
         nodes), so the normal approach is to use the Mac tools to create an area
         of freespace at the <emphasis>front</emphasis> of the disk, then put the
         Mac OS partition(s) after it and (re-)install the Mac OS.  The
         freespace can then be partitioned using <command>parted</command> or the
         older <command>mac-fdisk</command>.  It seems that recent versions of the
         Mac tools may no longer insert the filler partitions, so it may be
         possible to do all the partitioning before installing OSX.</para>
