I've never done this before, but here's what I think anyway.
The device you're using, /dev/sda4, is trying to access SCSI disk 'a'
(the
first scsi disk), partition '4'. Now, you're getting messages
complaining
that the partition table is incomprehensible to Linux (probably because
there *is no* partition table per-se since it's been Mac'ed). Why don't
you try '/dev/sda' as the device.
Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
