..and mac-fdisk reported the correct geometry/size of the drive?
Maybe you just used the wrong device file:
The PowerPC kernel has a setting that forces swapping hda <-> hdc
(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST).
So /dev/hda will be your harddrive IF CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST is
set to 'y'.
If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST is disabled, /dev/hdc should be the
harddrive.
(Marco: The -current kernel is configured with
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST=y .. correct? :-) )

I'm running -current since months on my minimac without any problems and i can't
imagine how a package would be able to drop the partition table.

Stop arguing with the expert.
Do "postsuper -r" or stop complaining.
