[solved]dual boot hoary-macosx

Hi Eduardo, you should probably NOT be using UFS for your OS X
partition (and, it seems you are). Also, you may want to use hda11
instead of hda9... though, given that you are using UFS hda9 may be
the right choice (plus, you have a number of partitions I haven't seen
before on a Mac ;-)!

It seems your 9.9 GB Mac OS X partition is formatted as UFS (Unix File
System). You should ONLY use UFS if you really, really, really need
it, and, chances are you don't need (if you're a developer coding for
UNIX systems you may need UFS since it is case sensitive). Otherwise,
UFS is an unwise choice since Apple does not fully support the file
system, nor do most third party app writers.

PS This is my HD at the moment...
