Hmm. This doesn't seem to explain it. The output of mac-fdisk looks the
same as it did before the install: the "bootstrap" partition is still at
/dev/hda6. (I also discovered when I did this that the Mac OS X partition
is an HFS+ partition, rather than a UFS partition like I had instructed
the installer to create).
BTW: What do I add to sources.list to get "potato-proposed-updates"?
