        I've concluded that in order to migrate to yaboot, I need a
        boostrap partition (I think). The only way I can get one,
        however, is to "carve out" an 800K piece of my MacOS partition.
        I backed up the MacOS partition and now I'm wondering if it's
        OK to run pdisk as root and redo the MacOS partition by
        splitting it in two on the "live" disk I'm currently booted
        into Linux from (/dev/hda).

        I would think that, since I'm not touching any Linux paritions,
        this should be OK, but I'd like to make absolutely sure. Any
        reason I shouldn't do it this way? Or should I instead boot
        into the rescue RAMdisk image and do it?

        - Paul
