    I am back to fooling around with my old Mac. I have a lot of small SCSI
    drives that I've install OS9 on. One of the drives didn't boot.

    Before I put it in the recycle box, I had a look at it under Linux
    parted.
    There were 4 or 5 tiny partitions marked "unknown ."
    I'm guessing that's the boot manager.

    Anyone know what they are for?

    Did you look at the partitions' types in Linux? 'file -s /dev/?d??' or
    'fdisk -l|grep sd' (or 'hd')?

    Linux saw them as "unknown."
    I deleted all but one. The one that was not deleteable,
    I formatted as "blank" to get rid of it.
