Sure, that can be arranged :) I repartitioned with Alliance Power
Tools, the way I had done it originally: root, swap, usr, and finally
HFS. I then went to look at the partitions in HD SC Setup:

Number   Type                  Name                  Title
0        Apple_partition_map   Apple                 Partition Map
1        Apple_Driver          Macintosh             Mac Driver
3        Apple_UNIX_SVR2       UNIX Root slice 0     Apple_UNIX_SVR2
4        Apple_UNIX_SVR2       Swap                  A/UX Swap slice 1
5        Apple_UNIX_SVR2       UNIX Usr slice 2      Apple_UNIX_SVR2
2        Apple_HFS             MacOS                 Big Blue

(Yes, the partition numbers are really like that :) And like before,
mkfs only saw HFS, root, and swap (they were listed in that order).
