[Hardcider] No 7200 rpm drives?

[David A. Cafaro]

Actually no, I had planned on setting up two versions of OS X (one to
experiment with SEDarwin) and possibly a third boot for Windows or
Linux, but I'm finding the partition and boot tools for OS X are a
little bit more picky than what I'm used to from the linux world.

At this point, I'm going to find a big external HD, do a backup image of
the primary drive, and then move the whole thing back to a single
partition so that I can then use Boot Camp to repartition it (apparently
Boot Camp doesn't like partitions made manually using Disk Utility).
Then I'll play with the other OS on the MacBook :-).
