And now I can't duplicate it :(  I've got a feeling that somewhere along the 
way i did something funny with the drivers.  I can partway explain things as a 
combination of the skipped last partition and the order I put things on them 
in.  In fact, this explains most:  it still sees nothing on sd1, but all that's 
there are drivers and a single data partition.  TOday it sees the 3 mac 
partitions, and the 4th partition, swap, on sd0.  Which rings some bells--part 
of the frustration on friday was that it would show me the swap partition.  

However, i've generally laid down swap at the end of the drive before making 
hte next partition.

So [i think] the only truly curious bit is not seing either of two mac 
partitions.  But I was doing so many strange things, i'm not sure i can 
duplicate this :(
