Yeh i wasn't sure about that...not sure how ubuntu manages to boot off of it
but anyway, is there a chance you could instruct me how to do this.
I tried actually doing this to begin with using mac-fdisk. It asked me for the
start block...
i gave it 2p and then it asked me for a size i think, i gave it 3p hoping it
would pick the start of the next partition (also tried with 3p and 4p) and it
asked me for a name, then said it was an invalid range.
