That looks to me like an Open Firmware command. What are you trying to accomplish?

It's not a Unix command, so that's why Terminal doesn't know what to do.

Are you trying to dual boot Linux and Mac OS?

There is a lot of mac-fdisk information out there--Google is your friend.

[chrislee8]

yes, i m trying to dual boot gentoo and OS X

i am planning to have a good partition before the installation.

yes, of course i did search on google, but all results are manual, some tips, but i don't even know where to start off?

where do i type mac-fdisk to start ?

the gentoo installation guide introduces me with the term, mac-fdisk, but it didn't tell where to type that command, it just says type mac-fdisk and do this, do that. but how? where?

You most likely type it at the Gentoo shell. I believe that the shell loads automatically when you boot from the Gentoo CD (hold C or Option while rebooting).

thanks, that was correct. i thought it was mac's command. from this point on, i will go to gentoo's forum.

thanks
