The current scheme is : oldpmac & newpmac -> pmac chrp_pegasos -> amiga (altough mbr is also supported) chrp-rs6k -> mbr (at least it seems so) chrp & prep -> no idea. > > Also, i guess it would be interesting to add a information message on > > how to best partition on a given subarch. > > > > For example, yaboot needs a special partition on pmacs, and pegasos > > needs an affs partition if it is going to be used together with morphos, > > which is the native pegasos os.

There is no mkfs.affs yet, so i either need to package Roman Zippels affstools, or implement affs fs creation in libparted. I will probably go for the second.
