mac-fdisk, and you'll need to keep a MacOS partition as the wallstreet
will need to use BootX if it's really oldworld.
Please note that it is possible to have two (different) partition tables
on disk, one from cfdisk and one from mac-fdisk. No idea which one OF
prefers but the Linux kernel prefers the cfdisk one if present (and
ignores the second). Interesting fun may be had by having one cfdisk
partition overlap the pmac-fdisk MacOS partition at install time.

I don't think quik will work.
