	This has always worked for me, too.  pdisk can come in quite
handy..  =)

	A word of warning, however.  I later found that Mac OS X seems
to really dislike this setup.  I installed the public beta and the
first boot of my install took a VERY long time.  I later learned it
had found the NetBSD partition and decided to fsck it.  It took so
long because it was converting all of the directory something-or-others
(I don't recall) from 512 to 1024.  Needless to say when I tried to
boot NetBSD the next time it thought the filesystem was blank.  Many,
many GB of data lost..  =(

	I haven't gotten around to reinstalling on my machine yet, but
when I do I figure I'll hack the sources to use something other than
Apple_Unix_SVR4 so that Mac OS X doesn't try to use it...  =)
