you can use that 32MB hfs partition as teh bootstrap partition, just DO NOT mount it on top of /boot like linuxppc does. the bootstrap partition should not contain your kernel images. also note that MacOS will render this partition unbootable when it mounts it, so don't post a question asking how to fix that because the answer is use Apple_Bootstrap to prevent MacOS from mounting it. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
