Sorry Phil, I don't understand. If you already have debian installed
on your internal drive, all you need to do is partition the blank
drive with as many partitions as you want, and then create the
filesystems you want on those partititions. If you want to use them
for MacOS, use 'hformat' to put an HFS partition, and if you want
ReiserFS then use mkreiserfs.
Why would you need to install any OS? Presumably your internal drive
already has both MacOS and linux, yes?
jas.
