I have 132MB of RAM on my machine.
I went through the sysinst install wizard.
"a: Install NetBSD to hard disk"
"a: sd0 2.0GB"
"a: Use only part of the disk"
It displayed a partition table of
sd0a 96 163840 HFS MacOS (80MBtled)
sd0b 163936 4030368 Free
I modified this to be
sd0d 96 163840 HFS MacOS (80MBtled)
sd0b 163936 500000 swap
sd0a 663936 3530368 4.2BSD Root&Usr /
I confirmed the modification, and immediately after, it went to the NetBSD
distribution phase.
Dropping to /bin/sh
disklabel /dev/sd0
shows
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype
a: 163840 96 HFS
b: 4030368 163936 unknown
c: 4194304 0 unused
In other words the partitioning didn't happen.
/tmp/sysinst.log shows
executing: disklabel -r sd0
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/etc
Making /targetroot/etc/fstab (sd0).
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/etc
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/kern
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/pro
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/dev/pts
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/cdrom
executing: /bin/mkdir -p /targetroot/var/shm/
