I have a white iBook that has the following HD layout - omitting, for
clarity's sake, the various cruft partitions MacOSX wants to have:

/dev/hda0 linux /     ext2
/dev/hda1 linux swap  swap
/dev/hda2 linux /tmp  ext2
/dev/hda3 linux /var  ext2
/dev/hda4 linux /usr  ext2
/dev/hda5 linux /home ext2
/dev/hda6 <<<empty>>> HFS+      <-- I want NetBSD here.
/dev/hda7 MacOSX      HFS+

I have ofwboot.xcf and a kernel on /dev/hda6 .  after I mount /dev/hda6
from the open firmware prompt, and start the installation process, I will
run pdisk, right? My question is, can I safely take the defaults it
provides? In other words, is it only looking at /dev/hda6, since that's
the one I loaded from OF? If not, what do I have to do share my disk with
the other OSes? I had a look at the partioning HOWTO on NetBSD.org but the
answers weren't apparent to me.

I'd also like to use /dev/hda5, which is /home under linux as my /home under
NetBSD if possible (I remember that NetBSD can read/write ext2.)

Thanks for any insight,
Gerald
