1Find your favorite disk partitioning utility.  Some
2of the ones that have been tried and seem to work are:
3	SCSI Directory Lite
4	Disk Manager Mac from OnTrack
5	HD SC Setup from Apple
6	I/O Formatter from Diversified (?)
7	Silverlining from LaCie
8	APS Disk Tools

10The last can be found on any A/UX ftp site--for example:
11jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/mac/APS273.sit.hqx, or
12dunkin.princeton.edu:/pub/jagubox/mac/APS273.sit.hqx.

14** First, be sure you have a reliable backup of any data
15** which you may want to keep.  Repartitioning your hard
16** drive is an excellent way to destroy important data.

18Second, use your favorite partitioning utility to make
19at least an A/UX "Root & Usr" partition and an A/UX "Swap"
20partition.  The "Root & Usr" partition should be _at least_
2150MB in size if you wish to install everything.  Generally,
22you should allocate twice as much swap space as you have real
23memory (so, if you have 8MB of RAM, specify 16MB of swap space).
24Systems that will be heavily used or that are low on real
25memory should have more swap space allocated.  Systems that
26will be only lightly used can get away with less.

28If you like, you can also create a smaller root partition
29and a larger /usr.  If you plan to use this machine as a
30server, you may also want a separate /var.  Create these
31partitions as the BSD "usr" or "User slice X" type.

33You are now set to install NetBSD on your hard drive.
