you should be able to reorder this so your bootstrap partition is first.

i wouldn't then MOSX will think that its it owns this partition and
who know what it will do to it then.  if its Apple_Bootstrap its less
likely apple will destroy it randomly since OSX does not know what it
is.

i very much doubt they reorder the partition table at every boot so
using the `r' command in mac-fdisk should allow you to reorder the
table so Apple_Bootstrap is first.
