:)How do I get NetBSD to use it as swap?
That is an excellent question, and one I was planning to ask this weekend
when I had time to document things a little more.
Basically, as I see it, the only three methods of creating swap partitions are
a) using sysinst and making the disk NetBSD-only
b) using MacOS 9's Drive Setup
c) using Bob Nestor's hacked pdisk (which only runs under MacOS 9)
I don't think there are any OSX tools that will create a NetBSD root or
swap partition. You can use OSX tools (Disk Utility or pdisk) to create a
UFS partition for use with NetBSD, but it isn't partition "a".
