Here's that of DCAS-34330.  Now it's ok.

7 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
a:    40960       96      4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0*- 40*)
b:   196608    41056        swap                        # (Cyl.   40*- 231*)
c:  8467200        0      unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 8252*)
d:  1024000   237664         HFS                        # (Cyl.  231*- 1229*)

BTW, I agree with your advice to split them into small size
for easy maintenance.

(A cheep tape drive is needed;-)
