ybin could not care less, ybin will install onto a regular file
happily ;-)
what DOES care is OpenFirmware, which insists on it being Apple_Boot*
Apple_Boot is used by apple so macosx will do whatever it wants
whenever it wants, Apple_HFS is out since macos old will ruin it as we
have all seen. Apple used to use Apple_Booter so i would avoid that too.
i think the best solution is just reorder the partitions again after
installing OSX. using Apple_Boot would probably just mean your
partition would be erased instead of moved which is far worse IMO.

it can be done, but yes i have not totally figured out the right
syntax.
ill see if i can get Clausen to add reorder support to parted if its
not already there.
