Re: create HFS partition
here the hole story:
first i format the disk under macOS, with the 6 gb HFS partiton and the
other empty, so the driver
partitions are present.
then i booted and started the installation, during the insallation i had
the idee that i musst make a /boot partition, becaus you never now about
this 1024 sector thing. (on the beige G3 it is anyway not possible to
boot directly from harddsik).
i deleted the HFS partion, created the small (20MB) /boot and the rest
as HFS again.
i dident see the HFS under macOS, so i started hard disk tool,the only
thing i could do was delete the partition: so the it look now like:

how did you do that ? with fdisk and then option -C
and as type Apple_HFS. is it not possible to destroy the whole
partitions ?
thanks a lot
