You can mix and match; I run with HDA9 being multi-gig hfs+, hda 10 being
hfs, hda11 being swap and hda12 being ufs root. hda 13 is a spare hfs for
some other stuff, especially shared stuff between both mac-side and linux
side.. My hfs boot partition is where I put yaboot and my kernel; I
understand that these are required to be on HFS, not HFSplus. However, I
haven't figured out where my 30 GB USB drive (I don't know if it's even
supported). I also don't know if my keyspan usb-->macserial dongle is
supported (USA-28X), or my macally usb floppy. Anyone know?
