It is the same to me. Im now going to do the install on my PB G3
manually. The installer kernel does recognize the Apple Partition
Map. So at the moment mine looks like this (disklabel wd0:)
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 2315679 7198581 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 7617*- 10067*)
b: 512 320 unknown 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 0*)
c: 9514260 0 unused # (Cyl. 0 - 10067)
d: 512 832 unknown # (Cyl. 0*- 1*)
e: 4520142 1344 HFS # (Cyl. 1*- 4784*)
f: 2677095 4521486 HFS # (Cyl. 4784*- 7617*)
Im going to create two further partitions for /usr and swap via pdisk
(the version from Bob Nestor
ftp://murphy.dyndns.org/pub/map/pdisk.sea.hqx) and will then install
NetBSD manually.
>newfs
>mount
>tar zxpf ( I am not familiar with pax.)
>MAKEDEV
>/etc/fstab
...
I would be grateful for any details on manual installation procedure.
If I get get this thing up and running thru a manual install, I will
definitely write an How-to and post it to port-macppc@netbsd.org.
Cheers, Chris
