Mac Partition Map Problems

Hi,

I'm maintaining the EVMS-Package for Gentoo Linux and one of our users 
reported two problems on a Mac which I think aren't Distribution-dependant:

i) The disk is already partitioned with an Apple Partition Map on it and 
he tries to create new regions. As it seems now, evms tries to use the 
DOS segment manager instead of the mac segment manager and the users has 
to remove the dos segment manager to force the usage of the other one. 
Do you have an idea, how this could be handled?
Our bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159741

ii) Probable related to bug i). While the kernel displays /dev/hda[1-7], 
evms creates the device-nodes /dev/evms/hda[1-5]. According to the user, 
/dev/evms/hda1 is /dev/hda3, etc.
Any ideas?
Our bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159838


Thanks in advance,
Greets
