The AmigaOne currently eats whatever you throw at it (well, as long as 
you only throw MBR and RDB at it :-)), but I use MBR because that's what 
we used when I installed Linux. What do you need an RDB for? I can 
easily whip up one for you if you need one...

I use HDToolBox under AmigaOS (Amithlon or classic Amiga) and 
amiga-fdisk under Linux (on the PC/AmigaOne)

The modifications aren't ready for public consumption just yet. Just 
check the files out of our CVS until I manage to find the frelling last 
bugs :-)
What I've changed is:
Support for adjusting boot priorities, support for AmigaOne OS4 
bootloader blocks (the only addition to the new RDB standard from the 
old one), and support for AmigaOS device names (like DH0: DH1: etc.). 
But all this is just in beta, and I have like zero people willing to 
actually try out things for me, so it's not going well...

There's also debian packages (which needs an update, come to think of 
it) on my homepage. I expect you to find the URL from my signature ;-)
Apt-get and tell me how it worked, ok? ;-)

Have fun.
