To install Debian I needed a minimum of three partitions: one "Apple"  
partition, one NewWorld bootloader partition (yaboot) and the  
standard ext3 root partition. No idea how the first two are structured.

I believe the point about HFS+ was that this would be required in  
order to replace OpenHackWare with OpenBIOS completely in the future.
