Unfortunately there isn't an answer.  The standard Apple partitioning
scheme doesn't allow for multiple mac partitions on one scsi device -
silverlining does some sort of end run around this to give you what
appear to be multiple partitions but, I believe, are really just large
files on the one "true" mac partition.  Not surprisingly, this doesn't
work with A/UX, perhaps because the Mac driver isn't used to access
the disk.  I may have the details wrong on this one, but that's the
general idea.
