No, just an A/UX partition with a NetBSD disklabel in it. Just
that it's located before the HFS partitions that hold MacOS.
I guess the upgrade "knows" that there is some unused space
in A/UX partitions it can use for disk drivers and stuff, unfortunately
it isn't really unused. I should probably repartition and leave a
couple of megs at the start of the A/UX partition free, just in
case.
