Please see attached. It's a large file, and I'm not sure what to look
for. I didn't use the installer to partition the disk, only to format
an existing /dev/sda3 partition as ext3 for root and /dev/sda4 as swap
under "manual partitioning". The Apple driver is on /dev/sda2. Here's
the disk partitioning as reported by mac-fdisk in Debian 10:
-----
# mac-fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/sda1 map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/sda2 Dr43 Macintosh 32 @ 64 ( 16.0k) Driver 4.3

This looks suspicious -- 2147483648 looks like something hit a 2 GB
limit. Also, the sizes are wrong, and there's no usr partition, so
maybe these are defaults of some sort?
