search debian-user archives for Karsten M. Self's partitioning guide,
its really quite good even though it talks about x86 partitioning. the
only difference for you is using mac-fdisk and not fdisk and creating
an 800K Apple_Bootstrap partition first.  for working with mac-fdisk
see:

for a linux only setup pay attention to the part about calculating the
number of blocks and using the `i' command to erase all the MacOS cruft.
