Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Swapping hard drive on G3?

[Stefan Bruda]

I have sent a reply only to the original poster by mistake, so I will
repeat my correction to the whole list (maybe somebody will find it
useful).

Correction: only for OS 9, OS X does not need them (save for the first
partition that is needed by everybody--since it is the partition table
itself--and gets created by mac-fdisk and similar).  In fact newer OS
X disk utilities do not create these by default anymore, one has to
check "install compatibility drivers" or something like this to have
them.

If you don't plan to use OS 9 (or plan to use OS 9 only from the OS
X's Classic environment or MOL) then you can safely ignore all of them
and just initialize your replacement disk using mac-fdisk.

Cheers,
Stefan

P.S.  Admins, would you consider pointing the default reply-to header
to the list instead of the original poster, many times I just hit
reply and the message goes to the poster instead of the list at large.
