Because SilverLining and MultiDisk try to write the partitions into the
disk driver, as "true" SCSI partitions. The problem, of course, lies in
the Finder, not in SilverLining or MultiDisk. So when the Finder gets
re-written, those two should be the "best" way to partition.

I still don't like any partitioning, personally. I've seen it mess up
too many drives.
