you do NOT need the driver crap then, and i HIGHLY reccommend that
you remove it.  follow mac-fdisk basics on how to use the `i' command
and give the CORRECT number of blocks.  everything will work fine
then.  

dbootstrap nor GNU/Linux now anything but MacOS needs all that crap
cluttering the partition table.
