OK. Then we need to know if the installer detects your MacOS9.
Could you try the following:
- boot the installer and proceed to the first screen of the partitioner
- switch to vt2 (using alt-F2)
- run the command os-prober
- Does that produce any output? If it does, what exactly? Does it list
the MacOS?
If it does detect it, you can skip the next steps.
- Are there any lines like these in /var/log/syslog?
* "Partition is HFS"
* "Partition is HFS+ (Mac OS 9 only, we hope)"
- If you mount your Mac partition, does it contain a file named:
"System Folder/System"?
- if you are familiar with debugging shell scripts, you can try adding
a line 'set -x' in the scripts in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/ and
seeing what exactly happens if you run os-prober;
AFAICT the 10macos6-9 script is the one that should detect MacOS9
After you are finished, exit to the main menu and select to "abort the
installation". As long as you don't do any actual partitioning, your
current installation will remain untouched.
Note that Debian people tell me that OSx systems _are supposed_ to run
with internal clock on UTC. Can you point to any documentation that says
different?
