An apple_free partition is just the free space left over on the drive 
after you make your other partitions.  In other words, just make one 
partition, and make it about 10 MB, and you should be set.  I know this 
can easily be done using ADU, but I've never tried it with any Mac 
utilities.  Of course, you could always just make an A/UX partition or 
something to hide the bad blocks.
