I'm stuck - if this is not the right place to be asking this question,   
I'd appreciate getting a recommendation for where the right place is. . .

Does anyone hava any experience setting up a Bernoulli drive for the   
Macintosh to use as a hard drive in order to install netbsd?

I'm trying to set up netbsd on a MacII w/ a small HD, so I thought I'd   
use a Bernoulli Transportable 230 as a HD. I used a Mac aplication called   
Hard Drive Toolkit to format, then partition the 230 MB Bernoulli disk,   
then let the app (HDToolkit) set up A/UX partitions on the newly   
formatted disk.I used an option that set up a minimum Mac partition and a   
maximum A/UX partition (The Mac HD is about 2+ MB and the A/UX partition   
is about 227 MB. The A/UX partition is actually 4 partitions - a root, a   
swap, and a couple of others, with the root partition being the biggest -   
about 190MB)

When I try to run the apple application MKFS (downloaded from the netbsd   
site, utilities directory), I am asked for a bunch of parameters for the   
A/UX partition. Here's what MKFS wants, and the defaults that MKFS fills   
in (mkfs guesses) are:
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
sector size                         0
block size                          -
bytes/sector  (hardware)      -
sectors/track                      40
tracks/cylinder                    0
num cylinders                     0
bytes/inode                         -
cylinders/group                    -
spare sectors/track              -
file system size                   109134
 --------------------------------------------------------
Info that Iomega Bernoulli people faxed to me about the transportable 230   
are the following:
num cylinders                             5591
Num of alternate cylinders                2
Total physical sectors                  5593
number of heads                              2
Sectors per track                            40
Rotational speed                          3600
total blocks                              447,280
actual capacity                   230,689,792
capacity after DOS format   230,518,784
recording surface size                    5164
spares per sector                            512
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried a number of different entries for MKFS, but I haven't found   
the right combination yet. Everytime I try to do the FORMAT on any of the   
A/UX partitions using mkfs, the script gives me the following error:

"no default #tracks"

Any hints?
Thank you in advance
