[ydl-gen] Firewire install question

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Steve:
I was wondering did you try one of these two procedures:

1 Format the partition question with Apple's Disk Utility such that the 
particular partition you which to create is formatted from within Disk 
Utility and named as Untitled and partitioned as Free Space?

2.  Format the partition in question within parted and then within 
parted use mkpartfs to define the partition type, file system type 
(ext3) the start and end of the partition?

If you do 1 or 2 then the YDL installer (anaconda) should have no 
trouble seeing what has been created.
