Can you have multiple partitions on an OS X recovery drive?

Just following the instructions for creating an OS X bootable install disk.

Specifies you can only have one partition.

Is this true? Has anyone tried multiple?

Mac OS 9.2.x

Yes I have just to test; however, I much prefer bootable clones of my system so that is what I normally use.


And, I used these instructions (you are following Apple's? I have not tried those):
