Be glad to. Here is the list. I assume size of partitions
aren't important. Here are all the types and titles as is important
Apple_partition_map
Apple_Driver43
Apple_HFS
Apple_HFS
Apple_HFS
Apple_HFS
Apple_HFS
Apple_UNIX_SVR2 (A/UX Root&Usr slice 0) (Named: A/UX Root)
Apple_UNIX_SVR2 (A/UX Swap slice 1) (Named: Swap)
Apple_Free
As you can see, the root partition appears on my partition map (assuming
my partitioning program is dispalying ALL the partitions) as 8th, and the
swap space as 9th. Is THIS the problem? I want to know before I start
re-arranging my partitions. Thanks for your help.
