Try creating all MacOS partitions of the sizes you want.  THen use Mkfs 
to convert them into BSD partitions of the type you need.  I suspect that 
the only partition Mkfs won't see will be the last one on the volume when 
you do it this way.  If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try and 
put together a debug version of Mkfs so we can find out what's going on.
