You should be able to boot off of a Linux CD and use pdisk to change the
partition without having any impact on the other partitions. I use to do
this all the time with my LinuxPPC 2000 install CD (the one that booted

should allow you to.
In fact - I have even modified the partition map of disks with mounted
partitions from within Linux - but pdisk in OS X is more restricting in
that respect.
