Dear parted maintainers,
I finally re-tried to install Debian on this computer, with the two
following differences:
- After first re-installing OS X, I did not install the updates from
Apple.
- I created two 50 Go partitions at the beginning of the drive instead
of a very big one for Linux and a small one for OS X at the end of
the drive.
Either one or the other change was useful: D-I managed to detect the
OS X partitions, and I could install Debian.
Since it is a computer at work, I will not be able to do further tests
with it.
Just in case it helps, here is the output of mac-fdisk:
