Find your favorite disk partitioning utility. Some
|
||
|
|
of the ones that have been tried and seem to work are:
|
||
|
|
SCSI Directory Lite
|
||
|
|
Disk Manager Mac from OnTrack
|
||
|
|
HD SC Setup from Apple
|
||
|
|
I/O Formatter from Diversified (?)
|
||
|
|
Silverlining from LaCie
|
||
|
|
APS Disk Tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The last can be found on any A/UX ftp site--for example:
|
||
|
|
jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/mac/APS273.sit.hqx, or
|
||
|
|
dunkin.princeton.edu:/pub/jagubox/mac/APS273.sit.hqx.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** First, be sure you have a reliable backup of any data
|
||
|
|
** which you may want to keep. Repartitioning your hard
|
||
|
|
** drive is an excellent way to destroy important data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Second, use your favorite partitioning utility to make
|
||
|
|
at least an A/UX "Root & Usr" partition and an A/UX "Swap"
|
||
|
|
partition. The "Root & Usr" partition should be _at least_
|
||
|
|
50MB in size if you wish to install everything. Generally,
|
||
|
|
you should allocate twice as much swap space as you have real
|
||
|
|
memory (so, if you have 8MB of RAM, specify 16MB of swap space).
|
||
|
|
Systems that will be heavily used or that are low on real
|
||
|
|
memory should have more swap space allocated. Systems that
|
||
|
|
will be only lightly used can get away with less.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you like, you can also create a smaller root partition
|
||
|
|
and a larger /usr. If you plan to use this machine as a
|
||
|
|
server, you may also want a separate /var. Create these
|
||
|
|
partitions as the BSD "usr" or "User slice X" type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are now set to install NetBSD on your hard drive.
