With the updated sysinst you should have been able to partition the 
disk during the installation process eliminating the need to do this 
under Mac OS 9, although using an existing APM should also be possible. 
  Did you try examining the Partition Map using sysinst during the 
installation process?  It almost looks like you were using the 
non-patched version of sysinst.

I'll do some more work/testing on sysinst this weekend now that I'm 
back home.
