I assume by that you wonder whether you need a separate partition for swap
in NetBSD, and the answer is no :) you just give the 1 partition which has
all the NetBSD bits in it. Later you add a disklabel, its in the disklabel
that you "partition the partition into partitions" as in you split that 1
partition into /dev/wd0a /dev/wd0b etc.

The answer to both of those can be found at:

My way: ftp the source over, compile & install it, and don't forget to add
/usr/local/bash to /etc/shells. The "standard" way nowadays: get hold of
"package source" tarball from ftp.netbsd.org, cd /usr/pkgsrc/shells/bash &&
make && make install (guessing this last bit)
