I am back to fooling around with my old Mac. I have a lot of small SCSI
drives that I've install OS9 on. One of the drives didn't boot.

Before I put it in the recycle box, I had a look at it under Linux
parted.
There were 4 or 5 tiny partitions marked "unknown ."
I'm guessing that's the boot manager.

Anyone know what they are for?

Did you look at the partitions' types in Linux? 'file -s /dev/?d??' or
'fdisk -l|grep sd' (or 'hd')?
