I managed to partition the disk from OS 9 in order to be able to install
it, and left the third partition (before the empty space), as a 128 MByte
HFS one with "Apple HFS" type.
Which tool can I use from OS 9 (or even OS X) to change the partition type
to "Apple_Bootstrap" ?
I'm curious about how you did that. I tried with pdisk but it won't let me
write the changes:
