0x8e "Linux LVM" partitions on a PowerPC

Hi,
I've looked everywhere, and i mean everywhere for this, and i can't
find the answer. It's like nobody has tried using a Mac with LVM or something! The screwy part is.. I can't even find mailing lists, irc channels, or web documents that even say "it doesn't work"!!

How do I create LVM partitions on a Mac so i can subsequently create PVs and VGs and LVs???

mac-fdisk doesn't have a facility for changing system partition types, just apple partition types, which does no good..

and fdisk, cfdisk, & sfdisk, think the drive's partition table is corrupted.. when i force it to repartition the drive, then mac-fdisk, and the machine itself think the partition table is corrupted..

I'm using lvm10 and lvm-common under debian-powerpc, I'm NOT using devfs, and I've gotten LVM to work flawlessly on my x86 and sparc machines..

Help!?!!!

Signed,
Totally Lost =(
