Hi,
Vladimir:

Ok. I got grub-1.98.tar.gz yesterday when looking
for the current grub-mkrescue.

The urge to upgrade might earn you a whining user.
I will backup the 31.5 kB of pre-partition space
and the Debian partition. So hopefully i can
always roll back.

The interesting part seems to begin at
http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/mac/Files/Files-99.html
(I hate that "Legacy Document" overlay)

Do i find that in Knuth's "The Art of
Computer Programming" ?
Yep. Volume 3, page 474 looks very similar.
Brand new art of the 1970s. :))

Because of the Master Directory Block at
block 3 and because the Partition Map at
block 0 is not compatible with a PC MBR ?

We will have to learn how to express our file
objects as Node Records.
And how do the tree keys map to a hierarchical
file naming system with directories ?

Have a nice day :)
