Thanks Bob, the answer for your question is not ready,

One bad thing for me was that:
>a: Use only part of the disk
should NOT be selected unless we have any partitions on the disk.
If I got above empty partition table, I needed to back to select the
line
> | b: Use the entire disk
Am I right ?
(1) no APM disk ... will take care and go to (2)
(2) APM disk but no partition ... > b: Use the entire disk
(3) APM disk with partition ... > a: Use only part of the disk
(or if scratching them out,go to (2))
In summary, (2) should select b: Use the entire disk
May be I will find out the answer at port-mac68k ?
