[root@tank-imac /root]# pdisk /dev/hda
pdisk: Can't read block 0 from '/dev/hda'
Edit /dev/hda -
Command (? for help): p
No partition map exists
I know I've been able to use pdisk from w/in YDL before - so I'm guessing the problem is the kernel. I'm gonna see about tracking down a new version of pdisk. Your message aluded that there is a version of pdisk that runs in MacOS?

Thanx for the quick response. My situation I guess is that I don't want
to repartition (again). My current partitioning looks like so:
'boot' : 100MB HFS, contains yaboot System Folder
'untitled' : 4GB or so, contains YDL 1.2
'Macintosh HD' : 5GB or so, contains OS 9.1
It seems as though I cannot simply remove 'boot' and 'untitled' to let
Mandrake do with as it pleases, w/o erasing 'Macintosh HD' as well :(
This is what I'd like to avoid!
Sure you can.
Run your YDL install disk and using their disk partitioning tool, just
delete the partitions you don't want.
Or do it MacOS with pdisk.
I did that 50 times in the past 2 weeks :-\
