The MacOS version of pdisk is bogus. The recommended practice is to:
- Use Drive Setup to create the MacOS partitions, leave empty space for
Linux partitions
- Boot the Linux installer
- Use pdisk from the linux installer to create the Linux partitions
- Reboot the installer (may not be needed in all cases, but I prefer
this way)
- Complete install
