FC4t1 was dead-on-arrival because the install CD/DVD would not boot

Try FC4t2. I think the CD boots. Otherwise do it via nfs and boot.iso
Now FC4t2 cannot be trusted to partition the harddrive
(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154479 ).
That's just the tool, fdisk not reporting it. Linux/ppc distros tend to
include pdisk actually
The partitioning tool actually "just works". Try "parted /dev/hda
print"
Multibooting Mac OS X is a requirement, but neither DiskDruid
nor fdisk recognizes the existing partitions as shipped by Apple
[Ubuntu-5.04 fdisk does] so I'm very leery.
Well, it would help if you had a free partition. Currently you don't. We
don't resize hfs+ partitions for you
If anyone has set up FC4t2 successfully to multiboot with Mac OS X,
(using no external drives or additional Mac hardware) then
please share your method and experiences. Thanks.

I just set it up yesterday and my dual-boot experience works. Save for
the fact that yaboot.conf needs macosx=/dev/hdaX in it
