You're using 8 bit software to do it. It ain't gonna let you make something
it can't use. Need to use ADU from your IIgs system disks, or a Mac.

I made my 230 mb disk into a 32 mb ProDOS volume and a 200 mb HFS using
HD SC setup on a Mac. Then you can use Norton or whatever to maintain
the HFS volume. There are no disk tools on a IIgs for fixing HFS volumes
so that would be a must have to my thinking.
