+<body>

+<p>
+Apple New World machines are fairly straightforward to configure. The first
+partition is always an <e>Apple Partition Map</e>. This partition keeps track
+of the layout of the disk. You cannot remove this partition. The next
+partition should always be a bootstrap partition. This partition contains a
+small (800k) HFS filesystem that holds a copy of the bootloader Yaboot and its
+configuration file. This partition is <e>not</e> the same as a
+<path>/boot</path> partition as found on other architectures. After the boot
+partition, the usual Linux filesystems are placed, according to the scheme
+below. The swap partition is a temporary storage place for when your system
+runs out of physical memory. The root partition will contain the filesystem
+that Gentoo is installed on. If you wish to dual boot, the OSX partition
+can go anywhere after the bootstrap partition to insure that yaboot starts
+first.
</p>
<note>
-If you are using an OldWorld machine, you will need to keep MacOS available.
-The layout here assumes MacOS is installed on a separate drive.
+There may be "Disk Driver" partitions on your disk such as <path>Apple_Driver63,
+Apple_Driver_ATA, Apple_FWDriver, Apple_Driver_IOKit, Apple_Patches</path>.
+These are used to boot MacOS, so if you have no need for this, you can remove
+them by initializing the disk with mac-fdisk's <c>i</c> option. This will
+completely erase the disk! If you are in doubt, just let them be.
+</note>
+
+<note>
+If you partitioned this disk with Apple's Disk Utility, there may be
+128Mb spaces between partitions which Apple reserves for "future use". You
+can safely remove these.

+Apple Old World machines are a bit more complicated to configure. The first
+partition is always an <e>Apple Partition Map</e>. This partition keeps track
+of the layout of the disk. You cannot remove this partition. If you are using
+BootX, the configuration below assumes that MacOS is installed on a seperate
+disk. If this is not the case, there will be additional partitions for "Apple
+Disk Drivers" such as <path>Apple_Driver63, Apple_Driver_ATA, Apple_FWDriver,
+Apple_Driver_IOKit, Apple_Patches</path> and the MacOS install. If you are
+using Quik, you will need to create a boot partition to hold the kernel, unlike
+other Apple boot methods. After the boot partition, the usual Linux filesystems
+are placed, according to the scheme below. The swap partition is a temporary
+storage place for when your system runs out of physical memory. The root
+partition will contain the filesystem that Gentoo is installed on.
+</p>
+
+<note>
+If you are using an OldWorld machine, you will need to keep MacOS available.
+The layout here assumes MacOS is installed on a separate drive.
