      1  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs Find your favorite disk partitioning utility.  Some
      2  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs of the ones that have been tried and seem to work are:
      3  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	SCSI Directory Lite
      4  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	Disk Manager Mac from OnTrack
      5  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	HD SC Setup from Apple
      6  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	I/O Formatter from Diversified (?)
      7  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	Silverlining from LaCie
      8  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 	APS Disk Tools
      9  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 
     10  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs The last can be found on any A/UX ftp site--for example:
     11  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/mac/APS273.sit.hqx, or
     12  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs dunkin.princeton.edu:/pub/jagubox/mac/APS273.sit.hqx.
     13  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 
     14  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs ** First, be sure you have a reliable backup of any data
     15  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs ** which you may want to keep.  Repartitioning your hard
     16  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs ** drive is an excellent way to destroy important data.
     17  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 
     18  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs Second, use your favorite partitioning utility to make
     19  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs at least an A/UX "Root & Usr" partition and an A/UX "Swap"
     20  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs partition.  The "Root & Usr" partition should be _at least_
     21  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 50MB in size if you wish to install everything.  Generally,
     22  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs you should allocate twice as much swap space as you have real
     23  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs memory (so, if you have 8MB of RAM, specify 16MB of swap space).
     24  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs Systems that will be heavily used or that are low on real
     25  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs memory should have more swap space allocated.  Systems that
     26  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs will be only lightly used can get away with less.
     27  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 
     28  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs If you like, you can also create a smaller root partition
     29  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs and a larger /usr.  If you plan to use this machine as a
     30  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs server, you may also want a separate /var.  Create these
     31  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs partitions as the BSD "usr" or "User slice X" type.
     32  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs 
     33  1.1.1.1.2.2  briggs You are now set to install NetBSD on your hard drive.
