Hi,

I created some similar layout on my Mini, using the Mac OS X CD.
Now I've booted a NetBSD 3.1 CD.
I can see the disk layout using pdisk.
But with fdisk/disklabel, I don't every partition I created.

On /i386, I would have run mbrlabel so that disklabel is automatically
filled-in. But there does not seem to be such tool on /macppc.
I suppose I have to use pdisk entries inside a "disklabel -e", right ?

The last thing is... how do I compile the "Apple UFS" partition ?
Should I run "newfs -O 0" ?
What are the gain between using "Apple UNIX SRV2" rather than NetBSD's FFS
according that I won't use Mac OX S at all ?

TIA,
   Jo
