I=B9m trying to set up YDL on my starmax 3000/240. I have been following the
instructions in the =B3companion to installing=B2 for single drive multi-boot
systems. I left the first partition unallocated and the second HFS.

After installing bootX and restarting to the installer I tried to partition
the disk using the disk druid option, but I couldn=B9t seem to make an =B3Apple
bootstrap=B2  partition. If I expand the =B3File system type menu I get the
options =B3ext2=B2, =B3ext3=B2 and =B3swap=B2.

I couldn=B9t figure out how to do it this way so I went back and used the
automatic partitioning using the free space. But I don=B9t think this created
a bootstrap partition either. The installer then ran, but it wouldn=B9t boot
after that, probably because I couldn=B9t point bootX to the boot partition
because there wasn=B9t one.

Any Ideas?
