Additional difficulty is the presence of Apple Partition Map and of
an invalid GPT.
To my experience only the partition editor fdisk is willing to ignore
these extra partition tables. So use /sbin/fdisk to create partition 3.
If the resulting partitioning makes trouble, you could deface APM and GPT
by help of dd runs. (Ask me for instructions if really needed.)
I did not have trouble with the Apple partition table except when using
libparted-based partition editors, but could you explain how you remove
it ? According to wipefs :
# wipefs debian-9.3.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
offset type
----------------------------------------------------------------
0x0 mac [partition table]
0x1fe dos [partition table]
0x8001 iso9660 [filesystem]
LABEL: Debian 9.3.0 M-A 1
UUID: 2017-12-09-13-52-51-00
the Apple partition table signature is located at offset 0 in the MBR,
in the same area as the BIOS boot code. So I would not just wipe it and
expect the installer to still boot properly.
(Strangely enough, wipefs does not find the GPT)
