hi to everyone,

i'm quite new an netbsd, have been workin on linux before. now i'm trying to
get my old mac machines up and running with netbsd.

my problem concerns initializing a drive. the error, apple hd sc setup gives
me, says that there are still files in use on the disk, but i made all files
visible using resedit and deleted them as far as i could: the desktopdb and
so on can't be deletet, because mac os uses them, which is quite normal, i
think.

this problem occurs on two macs i have been given by friends and both use
fwb as driver for the hard disk.

is there any workarround, as i have no copy of the fwb hard disk toolkid
which possibly could remove the driver?

i hope, this is not too off-topic...

would be nice if you would answer...
