I can also confirm your suspicion -- I read the exact same thing many weeks ago somewhere else (can't remember where though) in relation to the evils of dynamic partitioning of drives.
Thank goodness you saw it too! I thought I had gone crazy again! Deja vu

Best wishes,

Eric,
Please post all relevant info about your triple boot scheme, including
the config file and the boot order. Can the yaboot loader accommodate a
quadruple boot scheme as well?
I partitioned my iMac G5 into 5 physical partitions when I first got it
6 months ago, with Mac OS X on the first partition. All of them were
formatted as HFS+ (which is not the proper formatting for Linux,
evidently) but the last 4 partitions were left blank, leaving partition
#2 for MP3 music downloads, partition #3 for YDL, partition #4 for
Ubuntu for PPC and partition #5 as a spare.
Is this workable? Do I have to back-up and then re-format the entire HD
and re-install Mac OS X again?
All the best,
John

I have already done this and will post my /etc/yaboot.conf file for all those to view if you wish. I don't know what order dave taylor installed his and what partions he used but mine are different.
take care,
