2.03 claims to be capable of creating A/UX partitions, but it does it wrong.
Feel free to use their software to make the MacOS and A/UX partitions,  but
then you will have to boot A/UX and use the dp(1) program to fix the
	Logical Parition Size
field in the A/UX partition created by the rodime software.  They set it to
zero, it should be the same size as the
	Physical Partition Size
field.

However, if I were you,  I'd toss the partitioning software for the damned
thing,  just do the low level format,  and then use dp(1) to create the
paritions themselves.  About 8 months ago I posted detailed instructions
and some software that allows you to manipulate dpm entries and block zero
of the hard disk.  I don't have what I wrote anymore,  but perhaps someone
on the Newbury mailing list or an old comp.unix.aux reader might have it.
