This directory contains the pdisk apple partition map tool. The pdisk utility in the -current source tree has been updated to be able to create the A/UX style root, user and swap partitions used by NetBSD. This should make installation easier since the tools discussed in the INSTALL document do not work on Mac OS X. Furthermore, the tools supplied with OS X do not support creating A/UX style partitions. I have also compiled this utility on a NetBSD/macppc 1.6 system and a MacOS X 10.2.5 system. These binaries have been uploaded to The following files should be in that directory: README.pdisk A copy of this description. netbsd-pdisk.macos-10-2 NetBSD's pdisk compiled on Mac OS X 10.2.5 netbsd-pdisk.macppc-1-6 NetBSD's pdisk compiled on NetBSD/macppc 1.6 netbsd-pdisk.src.20030424.tgz An archive of the sources. pdisk.cat8 The pdisk man page, with terminal formatting. pdisk.cat8.txt The pdisk man page as a plain text file. Please direct NetBSD/macppc installation and partitioning questions to the port-macppc mailing list at netbsd.org.
