The Partitions
The Ubuntu install process on PowerPC machines (iMac, PowerMac, etc) creates four partitions. Using the command sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda in a terminal (assuming that the device is a hard drive and has been formatted by Ubuntu) shows the result:
/dev/hda
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 1954 @ 64 (977.0k) NewWorld bootblock
/dev/hda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 13931641 @ 2018 ( 6.6G) Linux native
/dev/hda4 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 734631 @ 13933659 (358.7M) Linux swap
Block size=512, Number of Blocks=14668290
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Note that this looks different from the x86 (PC) fdisk partition table.
