I told it to go ahead and create a DOS partition (I'm installing NeXTSTEP, and dedicating the entire drive to it), and when I rebooted, the drive was happy to boot. Of course, it trashed the NeXTSTEP that was there, so I had to re-install that. After re-installing NeXTSTEP, the drive no longer wants to boot.
