I tried formatting the disk using Drive Setup didn't work I formatted
space as hfs first 2Gb then Aux aux swap, .... put all the install files
there in the hfs portion and the installed did not even recognise the
disk, is there an install manual just for the mac-ppc or some more
information on netbsd so I can find out what ffs and other terms are.

is there anyway of installing the files I need from an HFS partition,
Can neither the mac or unix ever see the other OS's partition?
