Partitioning

[nigel kersten]

According to the readme, it's not worth getting Drive Setup to make the 
three partitions, you need to get the installer to do it for some reason.

I've got a New World machine, so things might be slightly different, but 
I just made one spare HFS+ partition using Drive Setup, then got the 
installer to remove that partition and then made the three partitions, 
which didn't touch my other OS 9 and OS X partitions. AFAIK you only 
need 10Mb for the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
