Right, I think I'd figured out that much from my reading.  If that's the
only issue, then I guess I'm fine.  I already have an extra boot partition
(untested, though) on the newer disk, so /dev/sd1h certainly doesn't need
to be bootable, and probably not installable.

If I really needed to make it boot&install compatible, I'd try to identify
that partition in Mkfs under MacOS, and just re-convert it.

Thanks.
