I see one thing no one seems to have mentioned. You
have your macos on 10, which is _before_ your linux
installation.
I was pretty sure that you had to install mac os
(physically) after linux on your hard drive
Here's mine, my MacOS is out at 19 (18 is designed
with the idea that I wanted a "talking" partition
between macos and linux that they could both write to,
but i haven't converted it to vfat yet. I don't even
know how to do that)
(by the way, 4 Gig is too small for /usr on a
powerpc!)
