I tried it => congratulation works fine. I even noticed you added the 0x41
partition type. This is very kind. I now have cfdisk able to work on
- RH4 for powerpc,
- Debian slink (aka 2.1) for powerpc,
Please note that this may highly interest debian people who have no
working cfdisk yet. I tested the logical partitions : they work great as
shown below.

I still need to test what happens on a disk partitionned directly on MAC OS.
I tried cfdisk on machines where I used a ramdisk and created everything by
hand as they are motorola board (mcp750) and not regular Mac. As I now have
a regular Power mac DT 300 running debian slink, I will test it soon.
Just a minor remark : you have many error message like that
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:240: warning: implicit declaration of function
`cpu_to_le32p'
It could be cleared by adding
#ifdef __linux__
#include <asm/byteorder.h>
#endif
at the relevant place...
