In order to solve this issue, we have a couple of options:
- Use HFS instead of HFS+ and use the old hformat utility in
grub-installer
On a sidenote: This variant has the huge advantage that the partioning
tool
in debian-installer takes care of setting up the HFS+ partition and
making
sure nothing gets overwritten etc.
This is something that we would have to do manually in case we can't
use
hfsprogs - unless we hack the hfsutils package.
I just joined this list, but for me everything seems to vote for this
solution. All tools are already there and a blessed partition will
provide a huge gain considering user experience.[1] I don’t see any
advantage in using HFS+ for a 2MB partition that’s not used for
anything else. Do you?
Thanks again
Johannes
[1] It also means you can choose that partition as boot partition from
the preference pane of Mac OS X, doesn’t it?
