Well something is different.  I just downloaded the 1.5.2 installation 
kernel to test this out.  It did display my HFS partitions along with my 
NetBSD ones.  I deleted my NetBSD partitions and reallocated them 
because I know this will cause the Partition Map to be rewritten.  When 
it did this it did in fact screw up the map and destroyed my bootable 
HFS partition.  This always worked for me on this disk before, so 
something is different.  Guess I have another thing to play with this 
weekend.
