Storage Device Requirements
Depending on whether you want to run AXD EFI tools, AXD Mac OS X tools, or both,
you need empty volumes on the Xserve or on a portable storage device.
If you want to run AXD Mac OS X tools, the storage device must use the GUID Partition
Table partition scheme. If you’re running only AXD EFI tools on the storage device,
you don’t need to use the GUID Partition Table partition scheme.
You can run both AXD tools by having two empty volumes on the same Xserve or
portable storage device. You need at least one of the following:
