Not true.  The SCSI partitioning scheme allows for multiple Mac partitions,
just like it allows for multiple 'usr' partitions (and multiple 'free'
partitions).  Its just that the driver has to be able to handle it.  In the
MacOS environment, it seems that just about everyone except Apple has
figured out how to handle multiple HFS partitions (e.g. SuperMac, Micronet,
LaCie,...).  Under A/UX, you are stuck (at least for the time being) with
Apple's inability (or unwillingness) to write such a driver.
