	yesterday i received a new iBook, and tried to install OpenBSD on it.
	in the installer OpenBSD had the following two choices:
	- similar to NetBSD, partition HFS+ and other stuff by Apple disk tool
	  and use complex partition-numbering scheme.
	- use DOS-like MBR record and FDISK partitioning, and have 1M DOS
	  partition that contains bootloader.  the rest will be OpenBSD-only
	  partition (no HFS+).

	I went through NetBSD intsllation note, and found nothing like the
	latter choice mentioned (I checked distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/macppc
	as well).  the latter choice worked very nice when I would like to
	use OpenBSD alone on my harddisk.  is it possible to use this scheme
	on NetBSD?  if so, why not?
