That option of using 2p also in "Length in blocks", it is for the case 
of using the whole free space to create a partition, but I only did for 
test, because only doing as soon as gets to create a partition, be her 
of the type UNIX or HFS.

I made the test, but it didn't work.

But same me trying to create a partition with more than 1gb, I still 
receive this message: The map is not big enough.
Message that I receive also when trying to create a partition HFS with 
4mb, I read in the internet that this is the minimum limit for this 
partition and I have faith that for the bootloader, be enough.

The table of partitions that I intended to create would be like this:
My HD has 10Gb of capacity.

1: Apple_HFS HFS - (4.0M) for bootloader.
2: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 - (9.0G)* for root partition (/).
3: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 - (128M) for swap.

* This size is just an approximate example of as it would be really.

But it is strange, I make everything certain, but even so the pdisk, 
emits that message and it doesn't create a personalized partition.
I hope to come soon with an answer for this mysterious problem. I will 
try some other options, I don't know if I will have success, but...

I am thankful for your attention and patience. :)
