1Note you will be modifying your HD's if you mess something up here you
2could lose everything on all the drives that you mess with.  It is
3therefore advised that you:
4
5	Write down your current configurations.  Do this
6	by writing down all partition info (especially their sizes).
7
8	Back up the partitions you are keeping.

10If NetBSD has to share the disk with another operating system, you must
11take care of partitioning your harddisk before installing NetBSD; creating
12space for at least root, swap and /usr partitions and possibly at
13least one more for /local if you have the space.
14
15Warning: The AHDI partioning function erases all partions on your harddisk
16         even if they are not changed!
17         I know this is rather stupid, but don't say I didn't warn you.

20If NetBSD has a disk of it's own, you can delay the partitioning until
21the installer requests you to do it.
