	I've been corrected several times on this now and it appears
that all corrections are in order.  The current version of Apple's driver
doesn't seem to support more than one partition per drive.  Accordingly
HD Setup removes "Macintosh" from the partition possiblities once you've
made a mac partition.

	Sigh...  I may have to stop answering questions.  My hit rate is
getting pretty low :-(
