installing mandrake on ppc buti need a boot strap partition???

i was running os x.1.2 on an imac 400 g3.

i started up from the 8.2 cd and i get to the partion point. i select the completely erase option, and it says there isnt a bootstrap partition. then, i can manually edit my partitions, but what is the label for a bootstrap partition? i hit the auto configure option and it still doesnt work.

all helps appreciated

alright...if anyone cares...i got the installation to work. however, one of the last steps is to install the bootloader. i then get an error and it tells me to start up the firmware and enter

setenv boot-device hda11:,\\txbi

or something like that, which i did but i still get the blinking question mark/apple face when it starts up.

help is appreciated.
thanks,kevin
