I don't really read French; but this doesn't do it?

Lisez la <url id="mac-fdisk.txt" name="page de manuel de mac-fdisk">
pour savoir comment créer des partitions. Un point important est que
la partition d'échange (<em>swap</em>) est identifiée sur les disques
de type Mac par son nom&nbsp;: ce doit être «&nbsp;swap&nbsp;». 
Veuillez lire le manuel approprié.

Apple_UNIX_SRV2 is the type of partition that mac-fdisk creates by
default, so it's not necessary to know.
