You can use either "Mkfs" (Mac OS) or "pdisk" (NetBSD) to edit the
partition table. Once "disklabel" shows the new 4.4BSD partition,
you can use "newfs" to format it. Just don't bother trying to edit
the partition label with "disklabel -e", as you do on the other ports:
NetBSD/mac68k fakes the disklabel from the Apple Partition Map.
