have been documented elsewhere). Going back to Mac OS 9.2.2, I changed
the type of the Apple_Bootstrap partition from Apple_Bootstrap to
Apple_HFS, and that allowed me to format it as HFS; I then changed the
partition type back to Apple_Bootstrap. Note that parted doesn't
distinguish between "Apple HFS" and "Apple_Bootstrap" partitions; both
are simply "hfs".
I managed to partition the disk from OS 9 in order to be able to install it, and left the third partition (before the empty space), as a 128 MByte HFS one with "Apple HFS" type.
Which tool can I use from OS 9 (or even OS X) to change the partition type to "Apple_Bootstrap" ?
I'm curious about how you did that. I tried with pdisk but it won't let me write the changes:
