sorry, they ARE Apple_UNIX_SVR2 partitions, i didn't remember the correct
name, so i wrote swap and native.. but they aren't recognized by install...

i've tried on 6,4gb ibm, but the partitions aren't recognized by install...
so i take cfdisk... but if i understand you right there are no reasons that
this didn't work with any ide disks, so i wipe out cfdisk partition and try
anew...
