I have PB G4 GigE similar to yours.  I used the Apple Disk utility to 
partition it as follows:

    9:            Apple_HFS untitled           44694824 @ 1544     ( 21.3G)
   10:      Apple_UNIX_SVR2 Swap                2097152 @ 44696368 (  1.0G)
   11:      Apple_UNIX_SVR2 A/UX Root          11811578 @ 46793520 (  5.6G)
   12:           Apple_Free Extra                    22 @ 58605098

I don't recall any difficulty.

As you can see from the sizes I primarily use OSX on this machine.  I 
see that 1.6 has gone final, so I'll probably give it a whirl in my 
"copious free time".  There were some keyboard support issues the 
last time I tried.
