/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/inst/install.sh:
echo "For best disk performance, partitions should being and end on"
^^^^^-- begin
echo "cylinder boundaries. Wherever possible, pick sizes that are"
echo -n "multiples are multiples of the cylinder size ($cylindersize"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- remove
echo "sectors)."
...
echo "$units_left $sizeunit remaining in NetBSD portion of disk."
echo -n "Swap partition size (in $sizeunit)? "
getresp
Should probably say something about common convention for choosing
swap space? Maybe provide a default based on the available physical
memory (limited by the available remaining disk space)? The physical
memory can be had via /kern/physmem and /kern/pagesize -- in that
case /kern needs to be mounted... (KERNFS is in the i386 GENERIC*
kernels).
...
echo -n "Creating a fstab..."
I think it should be "an fstab" if you insist on using a/an.
...
/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/upgr/upgrade.sh:
echo "No disk edvices."
^^- swap
(I know, I know, "nobody" will notice this... :-)
