install macosx in a partiion not in first 8go

[Benoit Chesneau]

I finnaly have success to install macosx on a partition not in first 8
go, but not under mol. I have to reboot my laptop and use diskutil to
format the good partition, then I used the installer to install macosx
(this isn't work againd under mol).=20

After this I have to reset all parameters in openfirmware (reset-all
command) and reinstall yaboot. Everything work now :)
