What I did to install onto an 80MB drive in an SE/30 was to make 1 ffs
root&usr partition, and then leave the rest of the drive (I think 20MB) as
my HFS install partition.  When I was finished, I converted this partition
to my swap partition (I don't think that you'll ever swap while doing
initial setup, so I ran without any for the first few days).  Although it
is kinda weird to have the machine suddenly lock up if it tries to swap,
this method will work ;-)

Later.
