-<para>

-If you are installing onto a NewWorld PowerMac you must create a
-special bootstrap partition to hold the boot loader. The size of this
-partition must be 800KB and its partition type must be
-<emphasis>Apple_Bootstrap</emphasis>. If the bootstrap partition is
-not created with the <emphasis>Apple_Bootstrap</emphasis> type your
-machine cannot be made bootable from the hard disk. This partition
-can easily be created in <command>mac-fdisk</command> using the
-<userinput>b</userinput> command.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The special partition type Apple_Bootstrap is required to prevent
-MacOS from mounting and damaging the bootstrap partition, as there are
-special modifications made to it in order for OpenFirmware to boot it
-automatically.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Note that the bootstrap partition is only meant to hold 3 very small
-files: the <command>yaboot</command> binary, its configuration
-<filename>yaboot.conf</filename>, and a first stage OpenFirmware
-loader <command>ofboot.b</command>. It need not and must not be
-mounted on your file system nor have kernels or anything else copied
-to it. The <command>ybin</command> and <command>mkofboot</command>
-utilities are used to manipulate this partition.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In order for OpenFirmware to automatically boot &debian; the bootstrap
-partition should appear before other boot partitions on the disk,
-especially MacOS boot partitions. The bootstrap partition should be
-the first one you create. However, if you add a bootstrap partition
-later, you can use <command>mac-fdisk</command>'s
-<userinput>r</userinput> command to reorder the partition map so the
-bootstrap partition comes right after the map (which is always
-partition 1). It's the logical map order, not the physical address
-order, that counts.

-Apple disks normally have several small driver partitions. If you
-intend to dual boot your machine with MacOSX, you should retain these
-partitions and a small HFS partition (800k is the minimum size). That
-is because MacOSX, on every boot, offers to initialize any disks which do
-not have active MacOS partitions and driver partitions.
